Lord’s Sight 

13 

The poor and the oppressor have this in common—
     the Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.

14 

If a king judges the poor fairly,
     his throne will last forever.

15 

To discipline a child produces wisdom,
     but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.

The first proverb reflects what Jesus said: "God sends the rain to fall on the just and the unjust." This reminds us that there are certain blessings, like sight, that God gives to everyone, regardless of whether they are good or bad.

David was a king who, for the most part, judged the poor fairly. Sadly, the kings who came after him were not just, and within two generations, the kingdom split.

Verse 15 doesn’t mean to physically punish children, but it emphasizes the need for children to understand that their parents are in charge. Parents aren’t supposed to be equals or best friends, as some modern views suggest. Children need guidance and direction, not total freedom.

Think about this: Can you name some of the "just and unjust blessings" that God gives to everyone? Things like sunlight, air, and the beauty of nature are available to all, no matter who they are.
