Proverbs 29:13-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

13. The poor man and the oppressor meet together–the Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

14. The king who faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established continuously.

15. The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left undisciplined brings his mother to shame.

16. When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall see the fall of the wicked.

17. Correct your son, and he will give you rest; yes, he will give delight to your heart.
