Proverbs 29:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
    but the righteous will see their fall.

¹⁷ Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
    yes, he will give delight to your soul.

¹⁸ Where there is no vision, the people perish;
    but happy is he who keeps the teaching.
