Proverbs 29:14

12 If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials will be wicked.

13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.

A king who judges the poor with fairness— his throne will be established forever.

15 A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

16 When the wicked thrive, rebellion increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
