Proverbs 29:13-15
The Message
13 The poor and their abusers have at least something in common:
they can both see—their sight, God’s gift!
14 Leadership gains authority and respect
when the voiceless poor are treated fairly.
15 Wise discipline imparts wisdom;
spoiled adolescents embarrass their parents.
Proverbs 29:13-15
New International Version
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)
