15The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
16When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall look upon their fall.
17Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not give heed.
20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become a son at the last.
22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
23A man’s pride shall bring him low: but he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honour.
