Proverbs 29:12

World English Bible

¹²If a ruler listens to lies,
all of his officials are wicked.

Proverbs 29:12

English Standard Version

¹²If a ruler listens to falsehood,
all his officials will be wicked.

¹⁹A servant can’t be corrected by words.
Though he understands, yet he will not respond.

¹⁹By mere words a servant is not disciplined,
for though he understands, he will not respond.

²¹He who pampers his servant from youth
will have him become a son in the end.

²¹Whoever pampers his servant from childhood
will in the end find him his heir.^[a]
