Proverbs 17:7

King James Version

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

Proverbs 17:7

New International Version

⁷Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—
how much worse lying lips to a ruler!^(A)

¹⁰Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

¹⁰It is not fitting for a fool^(A) to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!^(B)
