Proverbs 29:16-18
New King James Version
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
But the righteous will see their (A)fall.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18 (B)Where there is no [a]revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But (C)happy is he who keeps the law.
