Proverbs 29:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom,
    but a mother is disgraced by a neglected child.
¹⁶ When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases,
    but the righteous will look upon their downfall.
¹⁷ Discipline your children, and they will give you rest;
    they will give delight to your heart.
