Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. | Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince. |
Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. | Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them. |
