Proverbs
Chapters 29:13-19
Amplified Bible
13The poor man and the oppressor meet together–the Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14The king who faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established continuously.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left undisciplined brings his mother to shame.
16When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall see the fall of the wicked.
17Correct your son, and he will give you rest; yes, he will give delight to your heart.
18Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]–blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he. [I Sam. 3:1; Amos 8:11, 12.]
19A servant will not be corrected by words alone; for though he understands, he will not answer [the master who mistreats him].
