6  A fool’s lips walk into a fight,

and his mouth invites a beating.

7  ^qA fool’s mouth is his ruin,

and his lips are a ^rsnare to his soul.

8  ^sThe words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;

they go down into the inner parts of the body.

13  If one gives an answer before he hears,

it is his folly and shame.
