Proverbs 29:9-13
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 29

9When a wise person has a controversy with a foolish person, The foolish person either rages or laughs, and there is no rest. 10People of bloodshed hate the blameless person, But the upright are concerned for his life. 11A fool always loses his temper, But a wise person holds it back. 12If a ruler pays attention to falsehood, All his ministers become wicked. 13The poor person and the oppressor have this in common: The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
King James Version

12If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
