Proverbs 29:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ If a king judges poor people in a true way,
    he will always have the power to rule.
¹⁵ If you want your children to be wise,
    warn them and punish them when they do wrong things.
If you let them do anything that they want to do,
    they will make their mother ashamed.
¹⁶ When wicked people receive more power, there is also more sin.
    But those wicked people will fall while righteous people watch.
