Proverbs 29:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 If a ruler listens to the testimony of liars,
all of his officials will adopt evil ways.
13 A poor man and an oppressor have this in common:
the Lord gives light to the eyes of both.[a]
14 If a king zealously defends the rights of the poor,
his throne will stand firm forever.
Footnotes
- Proverbs 29:13 The Lord gives light to the eyes of both: i.e., gives life, just as he makes the sun to shine on the just and the unjust (see Mt 5:45).
