Proverbs 29:16-18
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
16 When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.
17 Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
18 When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.

Proverbs 29:16-18
New International Version
16 When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
but the righteous will see their downfall.(A)
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
they will bring you the delights you desire.(B)
18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.(C)
