Proverbs 29:13-18

New International Version

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

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

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

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

¹⁷ Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
    they will bring you the delights you desire.^(E)

¹⁸ Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
    but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.^(F)
