Proverbs 29:14-16

New King James Version

¹⁴ The king who judges the ^(A)poor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.

¹⁵ The rod and rebuke give ^(B)wisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

¹⁶ When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
But the righteous will see their ^(C)fall.
