Proverbs 29:17-19

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ Discipline your children, and they will give you rest,
    and they will give delight to your soul.^[a]
18 When there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint,
    but as for he who guards instruction, happiness is his.
¹⁹ By words, a servant is not disciplined,
    for he will understand, but there is no giving heed.
