⁷^(A)Excellent lips are not fitting for a ^[a]wicked fool,
Even less are ^(B)lying lips for a noble man.

Proverbs 17:7

Lexham English Bible

⁷Fine speech^[a] is not becoming a fool,
still less^[b] is false speech^[c] for a ruler.

²⁶It is also not good to ^(A)punish the righteous,
Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

²⁶Also, imposing a fine on the righteous is not good,
nor to flog nobles for uprightness.
