Proverbs 29:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ Correction and punishment make children wise,
    but those left alone will disgrace their mother.

¹⁶ When there are many wicked people, there is much sin,
    but those who do right will see them destroyed.

¹⁷ Correct your children, and you will be proud;
    they will give you satisfaction.
