SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:12 ¶ Del señor que escucha la palabra mentirosa, todos sus ministros son impíos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 29:12 Verse 12. If a ruler hearken to lies ] Wherever the system of espionage is permitted to prevail, there the system of falsity is established; for he who is capable of being a spy and informer, is not only capable of telling and swearing lies, but also of cutting his king's or even his father's throat. I have seen cases, where the same spy received pay from both parties, and deceived both.
Ver. 12. If a ruler hearken to lies , etc.] To men that tell them in order to soothe and flatter him, or to hurt the character and reputation of others, that they may raise their own: rulers should not listen to and encourage such sort of persons; for, as lying lips do not become a prince, so it is not right to have liars about him; David would not suffer such to dwell in his court, ( <19A107> Psalm 101:7); all his servants [are] wicked ; or the greatest part of them: for a ruler of such a disposition will take none but such into his service, that flatter him, and calumniate others; and such a conduct, being pleasing and agreeable to him, is a temptation to his ministers to act the same wicked part; as is a prince, such are his courtiers; his example has a great influence upon them.
Matthew Henry Commentary Verses 12 - One who loves flatterers, and hearkens to slanderers, causes his servants to become liars and false accusers.
