Proverbs 18:1-3

Wycliffe Bible

18 He that will go away from a friend, seeketh occasions, that is, feigneth causes, (or looketh for reasons); in all time he shall be despisable.

² A fool receiveth not the words of prudence; no but thou say those things, that be turned (over) in his heart.

³ A wicked man, when he cometh into (the) depth of sins, despiseth wholesome lore, (or discipline,) and commandment; but scandal and shame followeth him.
