Proverbs 29:16-21

¹⁶With the increase of the wicked transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall yet look on their downfall.

¹⁷Correct thy son, and he will procure thee rest: yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

¹⁸Without a prophetic vision a people become unruly; but when it observeth the law, then will it be happy.

¹⁹Not with words alone can a servant be corrected; for though he understand, there will be no response.

²⁰Seest then a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.

²¹If one rear his servant delicately from his youth, then will he at length become as his son.
