Proverbs 29:16-18
Wycliffe Bible
16 Great trespasses shall be multiplied in the multiplying of wicked men; and just men shall see the fallings of them. (Great trespasses shall be multiplied when the wicked rule; but the righteous shall see the falling of them.)
17 Teach thy son, and he shall comfort thee (and he shall be a comfort to thee); and he shall give delights to thy soul.
18 When prophecy faileth, the people shall be destroyed; but he that keepeth the law, is blessed (but he who obeyeth the Law, is blessed).

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)
