Proverbs 29:17

Before · Proverbs 29:15–16

15The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother. 16When the wicked increase, sin increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.

After · Proverbs 29:18–19

18Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but one who keeps the law is blessed. 19A servant can’t be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond.
