לֹֽא־יַחְפֹּץ כְּסִיל בִּתְבוּנָה כִּי אִֽם־בְּהִתְגַּלּוֹת לִבּֽוֹ
A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may lay itself bare.
בְּֽבוֹא־רָשָׁע בָּא גַם־בּוּז וְֽעִם־קָלוֹן חֶרְפָּֽה
When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy reproach.
מַיִם עֲמֻקִּים דִּבְרֵי פִי־אִישׁ נַחַל נֹבֵעַ מְקוֹר חָכְמָֽה
The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters; A flowing brook, a fountain of wisdom.
שְׂאֵת פְּנֵי־רָשָׁע לֹא־טוֹב לְהַטּוֹת צַדִּיק בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט
It is not good to respect the person of the wicked, So as to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
שִׂפְתֵי כְסִיל יָבֹאֽוּ בְרִיב וּפִיו לְֽמַהֲלֻמוֹת יִקְרָֽא
A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for strokes.
