He removeth away the speech of the trusty, And taketh away the understanding of the aged.
He deprives of speech those who are trusted and takes away the discernment and discretion of the aged.
He removeth the speech of the trusty, And taketh away the understanding of the elders.
silences the talk of trusted people; takes away elders’ discernment;
altering the lips of those who speak the truth and sweeping away the teaching of the aged.
He changeth the speech of the true speakers, and taketh away the doctrine of the aged.
turning aside the heart of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and He makes them wander in a pathless waste.

The multitude are not wise, nor do the aged understand right-ruling.
because Eloah has made her forget wisdom, and did not endow her with understanding.
The lips of the righteous shepherd many, But fools die for lack of heart.
The lip of truth is established forever, But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Lying lips are an abomination to יהוה, But those who deal truly are His delight.
