Proverbs 29:12-17

¹²A prince that heareth willfully the words of leasing, shall have all his servants unfaithful. (A ruler who willingly listeneth to lies, shall have servants who all be unfaithful./If a ruler willingly listeneth to lies, then all of his servants shall be unfaithful.)

¹³A poor man and a lender met themselves; the Lord is the lightener of ever either. (A poor person and a lender met together; the Lord lighteneth the burdens of both of them.)

¹⁴If a king deemeth poor men in truth, his throne shall be made steadfast into without end. (If a king judgeth the poor with honesty, his throne shall be made secure forever.)

¹⁵A rod and chastising shall give wisdom; but a child, that is left to his own will, shameth his mother.

¹⁶Great trespasses shall be multiplied in the multiplying of wicked men; and just men shall see the fallings of them. (Great trespasses shall be multiplied when the wicked rule; but the righteous shall see the falling of them.)

¹⁷Teach thy son, and he shall comfort thee (or and he shall be a comfort to thee); and he shall give delights to thy soul.
