Proverbs 29:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ If a king zealously defends the rights of the poor,
    his throne will stand firm forever.
¹⁵ The rod of correction^[a] bestows wisdom,
    but an unreprimanded youth will bring shame on his mother.
¹⁶ When the wicked are in power, sins increase,
    but the righteous will witness their downfall.
