Proverbs 29:16-18

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁶In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.

¹⁷Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.

¹⁸Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!

Proverbs 29:16-18

New International Version

¹⁶When the wicked thrive, so does sin,
but the righteous will see their downfall.^(A)

¹⁷Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
they will bring you the delights you desire.^(B)

¹⁸Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.^(C)
