Proverbs 29:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 The (A)rod and reproof give wisdom,
But a child [a]left to himself (B)brings shame to his mother.
16 When the wicked [b]increase, transgression increases;
But the (C)righteous will see their fall.
17 (D)Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
And he will (E)give delight to your soul.

15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.(A)

but the righteous will see their downfall.(B)

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