Proverbs 18:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ Do something evil, and people won’t like you.
    Do something shameful, and they will make fun of you.

⁴ Understanding people’s words is as hard as getting water out of a deep well.
    But understanding wisdom is as easy as getting water from a flowing stream.

⁵ It is not good to honor the wicked.
    Nor is it good to be unfair to the innocent.
