Proverbs 29:10-18 NIV

[10] The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity and seek to kill the upright. [11] Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end. [12] If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked. [13] The poor and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives sight to the eyes of both. [14] If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever. [15] A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother. [16] When the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall. [17] Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire. [18] Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.
