Proverbs 29:15-22 English Revised Version (ERV)

15. The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

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

17. Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall 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.
