愚者大言不相宜、況君子誑言、豈非更不宜乎、

愚顽人说美言本不相宜，何况君王说谎话呢？

愚顽人说美言并不相宜，君子说谎言也不合宜。

愚顽人说美言并不相宜，君子说谎言也不合宜。

愚人高谈阔论不相称，统治者说谎更不合适。

愚顽人说佳美的话是不相称的，何况尊贵的人说虚谎的话呢！

愚顽人有优雅的嘴唇尚且不合宜，更何况高贵的人有撒谎的嘴唇呢！

愚頑人說美言本不相宜，何況君王說謊話呢？

愚頑人說美言並不相宜，君子說謊言也不合宜。

愚頑人說美言並不相宜，君子說謊言也不合宜。

愚人高談闊論不相稱，統治者說謊更不合適。

愚頑人說佳美的話是不相稱的，何況尊貴的人說虛謊的話呢！

愚昧人說話用美妙口氣、本不相宜，高貴人用虛謊口氣、更不相配。

愚頑人有優雅的嘴唇尚且不合宜，更何況高貴的人有撒謊的嘴唇呢！

嘉言不宜於愚者、誑舌不宜於君王、

位卑而言高、非宜也、位高而言卑、亦非宜也。

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.

君言當如神語、聽訟之時、其口不可差謬、公平之稱與權衡、為主所定、囊中一切權物之石、亦主所制、君王當憎行惡、或作行惡之君王當憎惡蓋國位以義而立、公義之詞、王當悅納、言正直者、王當喜愛、

跛者之足、空存無用、愚者口述箴言亦若是、

天主事事無不善、全能之主、必不顛倒是非、

天主向惡人曰、爾為何傳述我之律法、口講我之盟約、其實爾厭惡我之訓誨、將我之言語、棄置於後、

秉權者聽誑言、其臣僕必皆邪惡、

真言永立、誑言立廢、

以色列天主有言、以色列所恃之天主、原文作以色列之磐諭我曰、為人君者若義、秉權者若畏天主、

偽善者乎、先去己目中之梁木、然後可見以去爾兄弟目中之草芥、

邪僻之事、不容在我目前、叛逆之事、我最恨惡、不容沾染我身、心存奸詐者、必使遠離我、惡人我絕不肯認識、陰毀友朋者、我必絕之、目傲心驕者、我必不容之、
