Proverbs 29:12-17

¹²A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.

¹³The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.

¹⁴The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.

¹⁵The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.

¹⁶When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.

¹⁷Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
