Proverbs 29:12

New American Standard Bible

¹²If a ^(A)ruler pays attention to falsehood,
All his ministers become wicked.

Proverbs 29:12

New International Version

¹²If a ruler^(A) listens to lies,
all his officials become wicked.^(B)

¹⁹A slave will not be instructed by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no response.

¹⁹Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.

²¹One who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be rebellious.

²¹A servant pampered from youth
will turn out to be insolent.
