Proverbs 29:12
King James Version
“If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants wicked.”
Context
9a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, no rest.
10The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
11A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise keepeth it in till afterwards.
12If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants wicked.
13The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.
14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left bringeth his mother to shame.
