“Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool,much less do lying lips fit a prince.”
Proverbs 17:7 (WEB)
Context Reading
5Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker.He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished. 6Children’s children are the crown of old men;the glory of children is their parents. 7Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool,much less do lying lips fit a prince. 8A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it;wherever he turns, he prospers. 9He who covers an offense promotes love;but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
