Proverbs 29:16-22 American Standard Version (ASV)

16. When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall.

17. Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

18. Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; But he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

19. A servant will not be corrected by words; For though he understand, he will not give heed.

20. Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

21. He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become a son at the last.

22. An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
