Proverbs 29:16

Compare all

14 The king who judges the ^apoor with truth,
His throne will be established forever.

15 The rod and rebuke give ^awisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;
But the righteous will see their ^afall.

17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.

18 ^aWhere there is no¹ revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But ^bhappy is he who keeps the law.
