Holy Scripture
Proverbs 19:7
A church father on this verse
“Delight does not befit a fool, etc. Delight in the Scriptures does not befit a heretic, because he does not know how to use them well; nor does it befit him who is still proven to be a servant of sin to be preferred to the just in the governance of the Church.”

Original
7Every one who hates his poor brother Shall also be far from friendship. Good understanding will draw near to them that know it, And a sensible man will find it. He that does much harm perfects mischief; And he that uses provoking words shall not escape.
