Proverbs 17:7-9

English Standard Version Anglicised

⁷ Fine speech is not ^(A)becoming to a fool;
    still less is ^(B)false speech to a prince.
^8 (C)A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it;
    wherever he turns he prospers.
⁹ Whoever ^(D)covers an offence seeks love,
    but he who repeats a matter ^(E)separates close friends.
