Proverbs 29:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶With the increase of the wicked, transgression will increase,
    but the righteous will look on his downfall.
¹⁷Discipline your children, and they will give you rest,
    and they will give delight to your soul.^[a]
¹⁸When there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint,
    but as for he who guards instruction, happiness is his.
