Proverbs

¹⁵The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother. ¹⁶When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall look upon their fall. ¹⁷Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. ¹⁸Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. ¹⁹A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not give heed. ²⁰Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. ²¹He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become a son at the last.
