Proverbs 29:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ If a king judges poor people fairly,
    his throne will always be secure.

¹⁵ If a child is corrected, they become wise.
    But a child who is not corrected brings shame to their mother.

¹⁶ When those who do wrong grow stronger, so does sin.
    But those who do right will see them destroyed.
