Proverbs 17:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Eloquent words do not become a fool, nor lying lips a prince.

⁸ The expectation of him that expecteth, is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely.

⁹ He that concealeth a transgression. seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.
