<08193>
<08193>
becometh
<05000>
<05000>
not a fool
<05036>_:
<05036>_:
much less do lying
<08267>
<08267>
lips
<08193>
<08193>
a prince
<05081>_.
{Excellent...: Heb. A lip of excellency} {lying...: Heb. a lip of lying}<05081>_.
A gift
<07810>
<07810>
[is as] a precious
<02580>
<02580>
stone
<068>
<068>
in the eyes
<05869>
<05869>
of him that hath
<01167>
{a precious...: Heb. a stone of grace}<01167>
a transgression
<06588>
<06588>
love
<0160>_;
<0160>_;
a matter

<01697>
[very] friends
<0441>_.
{seeketh: or, procureth}<0441>_.

Let a bear
<01677>
<01677>
robbed
<07909>
<07909>
a man
<0376>_,
<0376>_,
rather than

<0408>
a fool

<03684>
in his folly
<0200>_.
<0200>_.
the wicked

<07563>_,
the just
<06662>_,
<06662>_,
even they both
<08147>
<08147>
[are] abomination
<08441>
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_.
<03068>_.
Wherefore [is there] a price
<04242>
<04242>
in the hand
<03027>
<03027>
of a fool
<03684>
<03684>
wisdom
<02451>_,
<02451>_,
seeing [he hath] no heart
<03820>
[to it]?<03820>
A man
<0120>
<0120>
void
<02638>
<02638>
of understanding
<03820>
<03820>

in the presence
<06440>
<06440>
of his friend
<07453>_.
{understanding: Heb. heart}<07453>_.
