Proverbs 29:17-19

New International Version

¹⁷ Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
    they will bring you the delights you desire.^(A)

¹⁸ Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
    but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.^(B)

¹⁹ Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
    though they understand, they will not respond.
