Proverbs 29:14-16

New International Version

¹⁴ If a king judges the poor with fairness,
    his throne will be established forever.^(A)

¹⁵ A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
    but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.^(B)

¹⁶ When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
    but the righteous will see their downfall.^(C)
