Proverbs 29:16-18
GOD’S WORD Translation
16 When wicked people increase, crime increases,
but righteous people will witness their downfall.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you peace of mind.
He will bring delight to your soul.
18 Without prophetic vision people run wild,
but blessed are those who follow ⌞God’s⌟ teachings.
