There is more hope for a fool than for him. | 20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. | 20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him. | 20 Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment. | 20 Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a fool than of him. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |

| 26 Many seek the ruler's favor, But justice for man comes from the LORD. | 26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD. | 26 Many seek the ruler's favor; But a man's judgment cometh from Jehovah. | 26 Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord. | 26 Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah is the judgment of each. | 27 An unjust man is abominable to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way is abominable to the wicked. | 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. | 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; And he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked. | 27 The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction. | 27 An abomination to the righteous is the perverse man, And an abomination to the wicked is the upright in the way! |
