Proverbs 29:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Murderers hate an ·honest [innocent; blameless] person
and ·try to kill [^Lseek the life of] ·those who do right [the virtuous].

¹¹ Foolish people ·lose their tempers [or let nothing go unexpressed; ^Llet all their spirit out],
but wise people ·control theirs [quiet things down afterward].

¹² If a ruler pays attention to lies,
all ·his officers [those who serve him] will become wicked [Ps. 101:6–8].
