Proverbs 29:14

In context

12If a ruler listens to lying words, all his officials become wicked. 13The poor man and the man of extortion meet together; Yahweh gives light to the eyes of both. 14A king who judges the poor with truth—his throne will stand forever. 15The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a boy left to himself shames his mother. 16When the wicked grow many, offenses grow many, but the righteous will see their downfall.
