Proverbs 29:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ When the wicked become numerous, so do crimes;
    the righteous will see their downfall.
¹⁷ Instruct your children; they will give you peace of mind
    and bring delight into your life.
¹⁸ When there’s no vision, the people get out of control,
    but whoever obeys instruction is happy.
