13 The poor and the oppressor have this in common:the Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.
14 If a king judges the poor with fairness,his throne will be established for ever.
15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.
16 When the wicked thrive, so does sin,but the righteous will see their downfall.
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;they will bring you the delights you desire.
18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.
19 Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;though they understand, they will not respond.
