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

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

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

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.

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

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

Fine words are not becoming to a fool,
and much less are false words to a noble.
