Proverbs 18:1-3

Proverbs 18:1-3 AMP

He who [willfully] separates himself [from God and man] seeks his own desire, He quarrels against all sound wisdom. A [closed-minded] fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his personal opinions [unwittingly displaying his self-indulgence and his stupidity]. When the wicked man comes [to the depth of evil], contempt [of all that is pure and good] also comes, And with inner baseness (dishonor) comes outer shame (scorn).
