Proverbs 29:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ Corporal punishment and correction produce wisdom,
    but a child left to follow his own willful way shames his mother.
¹⁶ When evil people are free to flourish, sin is on the rise,
    but the just will surely see their destruction.
¹⁷ If you discipline your children, they will make your life easier
    and refresh your soul.
