Proverbs 29:15-17
The Voice
15 Corporal punishment and correction produce wisdom,
but a child left to follow his own willful way shames his mother.
16 When evil people are free to flourish, sin is on the rise,
but the just will surely see their destruction.
17 If you discipline your children, they will make your life easier
and refresh your soul.
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)
