Proverbs 29:16-18
World English Bible
16 When the wicked increase, sin increases;
but the righteous will see their downfall.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you peace;
yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
but one who keeps the law is blessed.
Proverbs 29:16-18

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)
