Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
Refined, excellent and noble speech is unfitting and out of place for a fool. Lying, false and deceitful lips are still less fitting for a prince, ruler, and anyone in authority. Wisdom and truth should mark both character and conduct. Uprightness of speech is especially to be expected of one who holds a position of leadership.
