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.

王的嘴中有神語，審判之時，他的口必不差錯。公道的天平和秤都屬耶和華；囊中一切法碼都為他所定。作惡，為王所憎惡，因國位是靠公義堅立。公義的嘴為王所喜悅；說正直話的，為王所喜愛。

瘸子的腳空存無用；箴言在愚昧人的口中也是如此。

神必不作惡；全能者也不偏離公平。

但神對惡人說：你怎敢傳說我的律例，口中提到我的約呢？其實你恨惡管教，將我的言語丟在背後。

君王若聽謊言，他一切臣僕都是奸惡。

口吐真言，永遠堅立；舌說謊話，只存片時。

以色列的神、以色列的磐石曉諭我說：那以公義治理人民的，敬畏神執掌權柄，

你這假冒為善的人！先去掉自己眼中的樑木，然後才能看得清楚，去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。

邪僻的事，我都不擺在我眼前；悖逆人所做的事，我甚恨惡，不容沾在我身上。彎曲的心思，我必遠離；一切的惡人，我不認識。在暗中讒謗他鄰居的，我必將他滅絕；眼目高傲、心裏驕縱的，我必不容他。
