Proverbs 29:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ As for a rod and reproof, they^[a] will give wisdom,
    but a neglected child is disgraced by his mother.
¹⁶ With the increase of the wicked, transgression will increase,
    but the righteous will look on his downfall.
¹⁷ Discipline your children, and they will give you rest,
    and they will give delight to your soul.^[b]
