He silences the lips of trusted advisors and removes the discernment of elders.
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.
He deprives the heads of the people of earth of understanding, and causes them to wander in a pathless wasteland.
Because You have closed their heart to understanding, therefore You will not exalt them.
It is not only the aged who are wise or old men who understand justice.
for God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of understanding.
The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of understanding.
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue for only a moment.
Lying lips are detestable to Adonai, but those who act faithfully are His delight.
