Proverbs 29:19-21
Amplified Bible
19
A servant will not be corrected by words alone;
For though he understands, he will not respond [nor pay attention].

Do you see a [conceited] man who speaks quickly [offering his opinions or answering without thinking]?
There is more hope for a [thickheaded] [a]fool than for him.

He who pampers his slave from childhood
Will find him to be a son in the end.
