12 Of the ruler who hearkens unto the lying word, all his ministers are evil.
13 The poor and the usurer meet together; the Lord lightens both their eyes.
14 The king that judges the poor with truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself shall bring his mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases, but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18 Without prophetic vision, the people shall perish, but he that keeps the law is blessed.
