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。

愚者大言不相宜、況君子誑言、豈非更不宜乎、

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.

王嘴裏有神權話；審判時他的口總不差錯。秤和公道的天平都屬於永恆主；提包中所有的法碼都是他所制定的。行壞事、是王所厭惡；因為王位是靠着公義而堅立的。公義的嘴脣、王所喜悅；說正直話的、王喜愛。

箴言在愚頑人口中、就如瘸子的腿虛懸着無用。

真地，上帝必不行惡，全能者必不顛倒是非。

對惡人呢、上帝卻說：『你有甚麼權利可以背誦我的律例，口中提到我的約呢？你啊、你恨惡管教，卻將我的話丟在背後。

掌權者傾聽虛假的話，他的臣僕就都邪惡。

說實話的嘴脣永遠立定；虛假的舌頭、不過眨眼間。

雅各的上帝說道，以色列的磐石告訴我說：一個憑公義統治人的、一個存敬畏上帝之心來統治人的；

假冒為善的人哪，先從你眼中去掉梁木吧，然後你才能看清楚，可以從你弟兄眼中去掉木屑。

卑鄙的事我都不擺在我眼前；背離退落的行為、我都恨惡，它決不會沾貼着我。乖僻心思必遠離我；壞事我都不懂。暗中誹謗鄰舍的、我必剪滅；眼目高傲、心裏驕縱的、我必不容。
