13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14 The king who judges the poor with truth,His throne will be established forever.
15 The rod and rebuke give wisdom,But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;But the righteous will see their fall.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;But happy is he who keeps the law.
19 A servant will not be corrected by mere words;For though he understands, he will not respond.
