Proverbs 29:13-15
The Voice
13 A poor man and his oppressor have this in common:
the Eternal created them and provides both with light and life.
14 The king who is fair in his treatment of the poor
will see his dynasty continue forever.
15 Corporal punishment and correction produce wisdom,
but a child left to follow his own willful way shames his mother.
Proverbs 29:13-15
New International Version
13 The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.(A)
14 If a king judges the poor with fairness,
his throne will be established forever.(B)
15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.(C)
Proverbs 29:13-15
King James Version
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
