Proverbs 29:12
“If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.”
The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.
The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
