12When a king hearkens to unjust language, all his subjects are transgressors.
13When the creditor and debtor meet together, the Lord oversees them both.
14When a king judges the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for a testimony.
15Stripes and reproofs give wisdom: but an erring child disgraces his parents.
16When the ungodly abound, sins abound: but when they fall, the righteous are warned.
17Chasten your son, and he shall give you rest; and he shall give honor to your soul.
