Proverbs 29:15-21

¹⁵The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.

¹⁶When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.

¹⁷Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.

¹⁸When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.

¹⁹A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.

²⁰Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.

²¹He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
