7Excellent speech becometh not a foolH5036;Much less do lyingH8267 lipsH8193 a prince.8A bribeH7810 isasa precious stoneH68 in the eyesH5869 of him that hath it;Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.9He that covereth a transgressionH6588 seeketh loveH160;But he that harpeth on a matterH1697 separateth chiefH441 friends.10A rebukeH1606 entereth deeper into oneH995 that hath understandingH995Than a hundredH3967 stripes into a foolH3684.
