Proverbs 29:15-17

The Message

¹⁵ Wise discipline imparts wisdom;
    spoiled adolescents embarrass their parents.

¹⁶ When degenerates take charge, crime runs wild,
    but the righteous will eventually observe their collapse.

¹⁷ Discipline your children; you’ll be glad you did—
    they’ll turn out delightful to live with.
