Excellent speech becometh not a vile man; how much less do lying lips a noble!

The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me, The ruler among men shall be just, Ruling in the fear of God;

Yea, surely, God acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,

I will set no thing of Belial before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

An oracle is on the lips of the king: his mouth will not err in judgment.

The legs of the lame hang loose; so is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

If a ruler hearken to lying words, all his servants are wicked.

Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the mote out of the eye of thy brother.
