15A rod and chastising or discipline shall give wisdom; but a child, that is left to his own will, shameth his mother.
16Great trespasses shall be multiplied in the multiplying of wicked men; and just or rightwise men shall see the fallings of them.
17Teach thy son, and he shall comfort thee; and he shall give delights to thy soul.
18When prophecy faileth, the people shall be destroyed; but he that keepeth the law, is blessed.
19A servant may not be taught by words; for he understandeth that that thou sayest, and he despiseth to answer.
20Thou hast seen a man swift to speak; folly shall be hoped more than his amending or folly more is to be hoped for than the correction of him.
