Proverbs 29:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
    he will give delight to your heart.
¹⁸ Where there is no prophecy the people cast off restraint,
    but blessed is he who keeps the law.
¹⁹ By mere words a servant is not disciplined,
    for though he understands, he will not give heed.
