Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 29 of Proverbs. The rod and correction appear as instruments of formation, especially within the family. Without discipline, a child can bring shame; with proper instruction, the aim is to develop responsibility. The vision expands to society: when wickedness increases, sin multiplies, but the presence of the righteous produces stability. The chapter also warns against excessive trust in servants or subordinates without proper formation.

Wo keine Weissagung ist, wird das Volk wild und wüst; wohl aber dem, der das Gesetz handhabt!
Sin profecía el pueblo será disipado: Mas el que guarda la ley, bienaventurado él.
Sin visión profética el pueblo se desenfrena, pero dichoso quien guarda la ley.
Quand il n'y a pas de révélation, le peuple est sans frein; Heureux s'il observe la loi!
Quando non vi è visione, il popolo è dissipato; Ma beato chi guarda la Legge
Não havendo profecia, o povo perece; porém o que guarda a lei, esse é bem-aventurado.
沒有異象 ,民就放肆; 惟遵守律法的,便為有福。
