Proverbs 29:14 BBE

¹²  If a ruler gives attention to false words, all his servants are evil-doers.

¹³  The poor man and his creditor come face to face: the Lord gives light to their eyes equally.

¹⁴  The king who is a true judge in the cause of the poor, will be safe for ever on the seat of his power.

¹⁵  The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.

¹⁶  When evil men are in power, wrongdoing is increased; but the upright will have pleasure when they see their downfall.
