Holy Scripture
Proverbs 18:5
A church father on this verse
“"It is not good to admire those who are impious," even though one of them has an important position or covers up what is right with persuasive speech. To admire the behavior of the impious is to sanction iniquity inspired by the devil.”

In context
3When an ungodly man comes into a depth of evils, he despises them; But dishonor and reproach come upon him.
4A word in the heart of a man is a deep water, And a river and fountain of life spring forth.
— Proverbs 18:5 —
6The lips of a fool bring him into troubles, And his bold mouth calls for death.
7A fool’s mouth is ruin to him, And his lips are a snare to his soul.
