Proverbs 29:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom,
    but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.

¹⁶ When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
    but the righteous will see their fall.

¹⁷ Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
    yes, he will give delight to your soul.
