Proverbs 29:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 The poor and the oppressor meet:(A)
the Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
14 If a king is honestly for the rights of the poor,
his throne stands firm forever.(B)
15 The rod of correction gives wisdom,
but uncontrolled youths disgrace their mothers.(C)
