Berean Standard Bible
Proverbs 18:4
“The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.”
In context
2A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in airing his opinions.
3With a wicked man comes contempt as well, and shame is accompanied by disgrace.
4The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
5Showing partiality to the wicked is not good, nor is depriving the innocent of justice.
6A fool’s lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating.
