16. When the wicked increase, transgression increases,but the righteous will look upon their downfall.
17. Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;he will give delight to your heart.
18. Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,but blessed is he who keeps the law.
19. By mere words a servant is not disciplined,for though he understands, he will not respond.
20. Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
