Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince. | Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince. |
Who is wise? Let him understand these things. Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right; The righteous walk in them, But transgressors stumble in them. | Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the Lord are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them. |
