Proverbs 29:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ ·Correct [Instruct; Discipline] your children, and ·you will be proud [they will give you peace of mind];
they will give you ·satisfaction [delight].

¹⁸ Where there is no ·word from God [^Lvision; prophecy], ·people are uncontrolled [^Tthe people perish],
but those who ·obey what they have been taught [^Lguard the law] are ·happy [blessed].

¹⁹ Words alone cannot ·correct [instruct] a servant,
because even if they understand, they won’t respond.
