Proverbs 17:7

Hebrew
ESV
Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince.
NIV
Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool- how much worse lying lips to a ruler!
NLT
Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; even less are lies fitting for a ruler.
LXX
οὐχ ἁρμόσει ἄφρονι χείλη πιστὰ οὐδὲplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigοὐδέ

greek

Meaning

* Not * Nor * Neither * Not even

A combination of the words οὐ (meaning no) and δέ (meaning however or but). The word οὐδέ adds another negative element to a sentence that already has one. οὐδέ can join words, phrases, or whole clauses. It often functions like English Matthew 6:20John 7:5Romans 3:10
δικαίῳ χείλη ψευδῆ
KJV
Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
