“When the wicked increase, sin increases;but the righteous will see their downfall.”
Proverbs 29:16 (WEB)
Context Reading
14The king who fairly judges the poor,his throne shall be established forever. 15The rod of correction gives wisdom,but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother. 16When the wicked increase, sin increases;but the righteous will see their downfall. 17Correct your son, and he will give you peace;yes, he will bring delight to your soul. 18Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;but one who keeps the law is blessed.
