Proverbs 29:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 Kings who are fair to the poor
will rule a long time.
15 Correct your children,
and they will be wise;
children out of control
disgrace their mothers.
16 Crime increases
when crooks are in power,
but law-abiding citizens
will see them fall.

his throne will be established forever.(A)

but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.(B)

but the righteous will see their downfall.(C)
