12If a ruler pays attention to lies, all his officials will be wicked.
13The poor person and the oppressor are similar, for Yahweh gives light to the eyes of them both.
14If a king judges the poor by the truth, his throne will be established forever.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child freed from discipline puts his mother to shame.
16When wicked people are in power, transgression increases, but righteous people will see the downfall of those wicked people.
17Discipline your son and he will give you rest; he will bring delights into your life.
