Proverbs 29:14-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. If a king judges the poor with truth, His throne will be established forever.

15. The rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.

16. When the wicked increase, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.

17. Correct your son, and he will give you comfort; He will also delight your soul.

18. Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is he who keeps the law.
