Proverbs 29:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
    yes, he will give delight to your soul.

¹⁸ Where there is no vision, the people perish;
    but happy is he who keeps the teaching.

¹⁹ A servant will not be corrected by words,
    for though he understands he will not answer.
