Proverbs 29:15-17
Contemporary English Version
15 Correct your children,
and they will be wise;
children out of control
disgrace their mothers.
16 Crime increases
when crooks are in power,
but law-abiding citizens
will see them fall.
17 If you correct your children,
they will bring you peace
and happiness.
Proverbs 29:15-17

15 A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom,
but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.(A)

but the righteous will see their downfall.(B)

they will bring you the delights you desire.(C)
