7 Eloquent words are not appropriate on a fool’s lips;how much worse are lies for a ruler.
7 Fine speech is not (A)becoming to a fool; still less is (B)false speech to a prince.
26 It is certainly not good to fine an innocent personor to beat a noble for his honesty.[a](A)
26 (A)To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
