Proverbs 29:17 Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul.
When you train a son correctly, you have nothing to fear from his behavior. A good son brings pleasure and good memories to his parents.
(In Prov. 22:6), we learned that we should train up a child in the way he should go. Since it is obvious that early training secures lifelong habits, parents must teach God’s Word and enforcing it with loving discipline consistently throughout the child’s upbringing.
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.
This proverb looks both to the lack of the Word and the lack of hearing the Word, which leads to lawless rebellion. The proverb then contrasts the joy and glory of a lawful society. A vision from God can be the will of God being revealed to you in a supernatural way. To lose sight of the will of God would certainly cause us to perish. The person who knows the will of God and is living in that will is very happy and contented, knowing they are pleasing God.
