Proverbs 29:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.

¹⁸ When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.

¹⁹ A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.
