Berean Standard Bible

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

Context

10Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.* 11A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back. 12If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials will be wicked. 13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both. 14A king who judges the poor with fairness— his throne will be established forever.
