Proverbs 29:16-18
New International Reader's Version
16 When those who do wrong grow stronger, so does sin.
But those who do right will see them destroyed.
17 If you correct your children, they will give you peace.
They will bring you the delights you desire.
18 Where there is no message from God, people don’t control themselves.
But blessed is the one who obeys wisdom’s instruction.
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)
