Proverbs 29:14-16
New American Standard Bible 1995
14 If a (A)king judges the poor with truth,
His (B)throne will be established forever.
15 The (C)rod and reproof give wisdom,
But a child [a]who gets his own way (D)brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked [b]increase, transgression increases;
But the (E)righteous will see their fall.
