Proverbs 29:15

Parents and childrenWisdomShame

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

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

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.

17 Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.
