Proverbs 18:5-9

To show partiality to the wicked is not good, Nor to suppress the righteous in judgment.

A fool’s lips bring strife, And his mouth invites beatings.

A fool’s mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.

He also who is lax in his work Is a brother to him who destroys.
