Context of Proverbs 29:14
12If a ruler hearken to lying words, all his servants are wicked. 13The indigent and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both. A king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. 15The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left [to himself] bringeth his mother to shame. 16When the wicked increase, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall see their fall.
