Revile not the king, no, not in thy thought; and revile not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the heavens shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

Say not a curse against the king, even in your thoughts; and even secretly say not a curse against the man of wealth; because a bird of the air will take the voice, and that which has wings will give news of it.

Μη καταρασθης τον βασιλεα μηδε εν τη διανοια σου· και μη καταρασθης τον πλουσιον εν τω ταμειω του κοιτωνος σου· διοτι πτηνον του ουρανου θελει φερει την φωνην, και το εχον τας πτερυγας θελει αναγγειλει το πραγμα.

Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
