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

Proverbs 29:12

American Standard Version

¹²If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood,
All his servants are wicked.

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

¹⁹A servant will not be corrected by words;
For though he understand, he will not ^[a]give heed.

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

²¹He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child
Shall have him become ^[a]a son at the last.
