Proverbs 29:17

Parents and childrenJoyComfort

15 A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

16 When the wicked thrive, rebellion increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.

Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.

18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the Law.

19 A servant cannot be corrected by words alone; though he understands, he will not respond.
