Proverbs 17:7 - Compare All Versions

ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ

We don’t expect eloquence from fools, nor do we expect lies from our leaders.

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

Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince.

Fools should not be proud, and rulers should not be liars.

Excellent speech becometh not a fool; Much less do lying lips a prince.

Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler!

Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, Much less lying lips to a prince.

Excellent speech does not benefit a fool [who is spiritually blind], Much less do lying lips benefit a prince.

Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; even less are lies fitting for a ruler.

It is not proper for a leader to lie and deceive, and don’t expect excellent words to be spoken by a fool.

Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince.
