Proverbs 17:7

Authorized (King James) Version

⁷Excellent speech becometh not a fool:
much less do lying lips a prince.

Proverbs 17:7

American Standard Version

⁷^[a]Excellent speech becometh not a fool;
Much less do lying lips a prince.

²⁶Also to punish the just is not good,
nor to strike princes for equity.

²⁶Also to ^[a]punish the righteous is not good,
Nor to smite the noble for their uprightness.
