Proverbs 29:16

Justice

14 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.

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.

18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the Law.
