Proverbs 29:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ The king who faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established continuously.

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left undisciplined brings his mother to shame.

¹⁶ When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall see the fall of the wicked.
