7 Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.
7 Excess speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler.[a]
26 Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
26 To impose a fine on the innocent is not right or to flog the noble for their integrity.(A)
