Proverbs 29:12-17

12If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.

13The poor and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives sight to the eyes of both.

14If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever.

15A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.

16When the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall.

17Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire.
