Proverbs 29:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ If you want your children to be wise,
    warn them and punish them when they do wrong things.
If you let them do anything that they want to do,
    they will make their mother ashamed.
¹⁶ When wicked people receive more power, there is also more sin.
    But those wicked people will fall while righteous people watch.
¹⁷ Warn your children when they do wrong things,
    so that you have peace in your mind.
    They will make you very happy.
