Proverbs 29:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.

¹⁷ Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.

¹⁸ When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.
