Proverbs 29:15-17

World English Bible

¹⁵ The rod of correction gives wisdom,
    but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
¹⁶ When the wicked increase, sin increases;
    but the righteous will see their downfall.
¹⁷ Correct your son, and he will give you peace;
    yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
