Proverbs 29:12-15

New International Version - UK

¹² If a ruler listens to lies,
    all his officials become wicked.

¹³ The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
    the Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.

¹⁴ If a king judges the poor with fairness,
    his throne will be established for ever.

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