14When a king judgeth in truth the indigent, his throne shall stand firmly for ever.
15The rod and reproof impart wisdom; but a lad abandoned to himself bringeth shame on his mother.
16With the increase of the wicked transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall yet look on their downfall.
17Correct thy son, and he will procure thee rest: yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
