Proverbs 29:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ When there are many wicked people, there is much sin,
    but those who do right will see them destroyed.

¹⁷ Correct your children, and you will be proud;
    they will give you satisfaction.

¹⁸ Where there is no word from God, people are uncontrolled,
    but those who obey what they have been taught are happy.
