Proverbs 29:14-16

English Standard Version

¹⁴ If a king ^(A)faithfully judges the poor,
    his throne will ^(B)be established forever.
^15 (C)The rod and reproof give wisdom,
    but a child left to himself ^(D)brings shame to his mother.
¹⁶ When the wicked increase, transgression increases,
    but ^(E)the righteous will look upon their downfall.
