Proverbs 29:15 Context
13The poore and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lightneth both their eyes. 14The King that faithfully iudgeth the poore, his throne shall be established for euer. 15The rod and reproofe giue wisedome: but a child left to himselfe bringeth his mother to shame. 16When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. 17Correct thy sonne, and hee shall giue thee rest: yea he shall giue delight vnto thy soule.
