Proverbs 18:2

World English Bible

²A fool has no delight in understanding,
but only in revealing his own opinion.

Proverbs 18:2

Common English Bible

²Fools find no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing their opinion.

⁶A fool’s lips come into strife,
and his mouth invites beatings.
⁷A fool’s mouth is his destruction,
and his lips are a snare to his soul.

⁶The lips of fools make accusations;
their mouths elicit beatings.
⁷The mouth of fools is their ruin;
their lips are a trap for their lives.

¹³He who answers before he hears,
that is folly and shame to him.

¹³Those who answer before they listen
are foolish and disgraceful.
