Proverbs 29:12

In context

10Men of blood hate the blameless, and the upright seek his life. 11A fool lets out all his spirit, but a wise man holds it back and keeps it quiet. 12If a ruler listens to lying words, all his officials become wicked. 13The poor man and the man of extortion meet together; Yahweh gives light to the eyes of both. 14A king who judges the poor with truth—his throne will stand forever.
