15Stripes and reproofs give wisdom: but an erring child disgraces his parents.
16When the ungodly abound, sins abound: but when they fall, the righteous are warned.
17Chasten thy son, and he shall give thee rest; and he shall give honour to thy soul.
18There shall be no interpreter to a sinful nation: but he that observes the law is blessed.
19A stubborn servant will not be reproved by words: for even if he understand, still he will not obey.
20If thou see a man hasty in his words, know that the fool has hope rather than he.
21He that lives wantonly from a child, shall be a servant, and in the end shall grieve over himself.
