他做那种恳求是白费口舌的。

In making that plea he will breathe in vain.

youdao

你必把他们藏在你面前的隐密处，免得遇见人的计谋。你必暗暗地保守他们在亭子里，免受口舌的争闹。

In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.

youdao

我来免去你多费口舌的麻烦，让我替你回答——因为我已经有了—个妻子，你会回答——我猜得对吗？

I will spare you the trouble of much talking; I will answer for you — Because I have a wife already, you would reply. — I guess rightly?
