Proverbs 29:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.

¹⁶ When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.

¹⁷ Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
