Proverbs 17:7

World English Bible

⁷Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool,
much less do lying lips fit 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 righteous is not good,
nor to flog officials for their integrity.

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