Proverbs 29:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ When a king faithfully administers justice to the poor,
    his throne will be established forever.

¹⁵ The rod and rebuke bestow wisdom,
    but an undisciplined child^[a] brings shame to his mother.

¹⁶ As the wicked grow powerful,^[b] transgression increases,
    but the righteous will observe their downfall.
