Lexham English Bible

¹²A ruler listening to a word of falsehood,
all his officials are wicked.

Proverbs 29:12

Common English Bible

¹²If a ruler listens to lies,
those who serve him will be wicked.

¹⁹By words, a servant is not disciplined,
for he will understand, but there is no giving heed.

¹⁹Servants aren’t disciplined by words;
they might understand, but they don’t respond.

arrogance will be his end.^[a]

and later on there will be trouble.
