Proverbs 29:19-21

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ By mere words a servant is not disciplined,
    for though he understands, he will not give heed.
²⁰ Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
    There is more hope for a fool than for him.
²¹ He who pampers his servant from childhood,
    will in the end find him his heir.^[a]
