Proverbs 29:17 in Context — Proverbs 29
15 La verge et la correction donnent la sagesse, Mais l’enfant livré à lui-même fait honte à sa mère.
16 Quand les méchants se multiplient, le péché s’accroît; Mais les justes contempleront leur chute.
17 Châtie ton fils, et il te donnera du repos, Et il procurera des délices à ton âme.
18 Quand il n’y a pas de révélation, le peuple est sans frein; Heureux s’il observe la loi!
19 Ce n’est pas par des paroles qu’on châtie un esclave; Même s’il comprend, il n’obéit pas.
