Proverbs 29:16-18

English Standard Version

¹⁶ When the wicked increase, transgression increases,
    but ^(A)the righteous will look upon their downfall.
^17 (B)Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
    he will give delight to your heart.
¹⁸ Where ^(C)there is no prophetic vision the people ^(D)cast off restraint,^[a]
    but blessed is he who ^(E)keeps the law.
