Proverbs 18:5-7
Lexham English Bible

5 Being partial to faces of evil is not good,
    nor to subvert the righteous at the judgment.
6 The lips of a fool will bring strife,
    and his mouth calls out for a flogging.
7 The mouth of a fool is ruin to him,
    and his lips are a snare to his soul.[a]
