Proverbs 29:15-17
International Children’s Bible
15 Punishment and correction make a child wise.
If he is left to do as he pleases, he will disgrace his mother.
16 When there are many wicked people, there is much sin.
But those who do right will see them destroyed.
17 Correct your child, and you will be proud of him.
He will give you pleasure.

they will bring you the delights you desire.(C)
