Proverbs 29:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ When wicked people receive more power, there is also more sin.
    But those wicked people will fall while righteous people watch.
¹⁷ Warn your children when they do wrong things,
    so that you have peace in your mind.
    They will make you very happy.
¹⁸ If people do not hear God's message,
    there is no law to control them.
But if someone obeys God's law,
    he is in a happy place.
