Proverbs 29:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible
15 If you want your children to be wise,
warn them and punish them when they do wrong things.
If you let them do anything that they want to do,
they will make their mother ashamed.
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.
Proverbs 29:15-17
New International Version
15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.(A)
16 When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
but the righteous will see their downfall.(B)
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
they will bring you the delights you desire.(C)
