Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler!

Fancy words don’t belong in the mouths of ungodly fools. And lies certainly don’t belong in the mouths of rulers!

Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince.

Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; even less are lies fitting for a ruler.

Eloquent words are not appropriate on a fool’s lips; how much worse are lies for a ruler.

Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince.

Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince.

Excellent speech becometh not a fool; Much less do lying lips a prince.

Eloquent words are not appropriate on a fool’s lips; how much worse are lies for a ruler.

Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

Excessive speech is not becoming for a fool; how much less are lies for a ruler!

Arrogant speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.

王的嘴中有神语，审判之时，他的口必不差错。公道的天平和秤都属耶和华；囊中一切法码都为他所定。作恶，为王所憎恶，因国位是靠公义坚立。公义的嘴为王所喜悦；说正直话的，为王所喜爱。

瘸子的脚空存无用；箴言在愚昧人的口中也是如此。

神必不作恶；全能者也不偏离公平。

但神对恶人说：“你怎敢传说我的律例，口中提到我的约呢？其实你恨恶管教，将我的言语丢在背后。

君王若听谎言，他一切臣仆都是奸恶。

口吐真言，永远坚立；舌说谎话，只存片时。

以色列的神、以色列的磐石晓谕我说：那以公义治理人民的，敬畏神执掌权柄，

你这假冒为善的人！先去掉自己眼中的梁木，然后才能看得清楚，去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。

邪僻的事，我都不摆在我眼前；悖逆人所做的事，我甚恨恶，不容沾在我身上。弯曲的心思，我必远离；一切的恶人，我不认识。在暗中谗谤他邻居的，我必将他灭绝；眼目高傲、心里骄纵的，我必不容他。
