Proverbs 29:17-19
New King James Version
17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18 (A)Where there is no [a]revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But (B)happy is he who keeps the law.
19 A servant will not be corrected by mere words;
For though he understands, he will not respond.
