Proverbs 29:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ Correct your children, and you will be proud;
    they will give you satisfaction.

¹⁸ Where there is no word from God, people are uncontrolled,
    but those who obey what they have been taught are happy.

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