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.
פִּֽי־כְסִיל מְחִתָּה־לוֹ וּשְׂפָתָיו מוֹקֵשׁ נַפְשֽׁוֹ
A fool’s mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
דִּבְרֵי נִרְגָּן כְּמִֽתְלַהֲמִים וְהֵם יָרְדוּ חַדְרֵי־בָֽטֶן
The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
