Berean Study Bible
Eloquent words are unfit for a fool; how much worse are lying lips to a ruler!

Young's Literal Translation
Not comely for a fool is a lip of excellency, Much less for a noble a lip of falsehood.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Eloquent words are not appropriate on a fool’s lips; how much worse are lies for a ruler.

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