Proverbs 18:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² A foolish person does not want to understand anything.
    He only enjoys telling others what he thinks.

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.
