16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases;But the righteous will see their fall.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;But happy is he who keeps the law.
19 A servant will not be corrected by mere words;For though he understands, he will not respond.
20 Do you see a man hasty in his words?There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 He who pampers his servant from childhoodWill have him as a son in the end.
22 An angry man stirs up strife,And a furious man abounds in transgression.
