Proverbs 29:14

All About Life

¹³ The poor one and the man of oppressions met together: Jehovah enlightening the eyes of them both. ¹⁴ The king judging the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for a testimony. ¹⁵ The rod and reproofs will give wisdom: and the youth being left shames his mother.
