Proverbs 29:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 When the wicked [a]increase, transgression increases;
But the (A)righteous will see their fall.
17 (B)Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
And he will (C)give delight to your soul.
18 Where there is (D)no [b]vision, the people (E)are out of control,
But how (F)blessed is he who keeps the law.

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)
