Proverbs 29:10-14

English Standard Version

¹⁰ Bloodthirsty men ^(A)hate one who is blameless
    and seek the life of the upright.^[a]
11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
    but a wise man quietly holds it back.
¹² If a ruler listens to falsehood,
    all his officials will be wicked.
¹³ The poor man and the oppressor ^(B)meet together;
    the Lord ^(C)gives light to the eyes of both.
¹⁴ If a king ^(D)faithfully judges the poor,
    his throne will ^(E)be established forever.
