Verse 4 is found in chapter 18 of Proverbs. The chapter begins with a warning against the selfish isolation of one who seeks only to satisfy his own desire and rejects wisdom. The fool does not desire understanding, but rather to express his own opinion. The words of a gossip are compared to morsels that penetrate deeply. The teaching therefore identifies a common root between isolation, stubborn opinion, and irresponsible dissemination of information.
