16 When the wicked increase, crime increases;but the just will behold their downfall.
17 Discipline your children, and they will bring you comfort,and give delight to your soul.
18 Without a vision the people lose restraint;but happy is the one who follows instruction.
19 Not by words alone can servants be trained;for they understand but do not respond.
20 Do you see someone hasty in speech?There is more hope for a fool!
21 If servants are pampered from childhoodthey will turn out to be stubborn.
22 The ill-tempered stir up strife,and the hotheaded cause many sins.
