Proverbs 29:13-15
International Children’s Bible
13 The poor person and the cruel person are alike in this way:
The Lord gave eyes to both of them.
14 A king should judge poor people fairly.
Then his government will continue forever.
15 Punishment and correction make a child wise.
If he is left to do as he pleases, he will disgrace his mother.
Proverbs 29:13-15

13 The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.(A)
14 If a king judges the poor with fairness,
his throne will be established forever.(B)
15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.(C)
