Proverbs 29:17-19

World English Bible

¹⁷ Correct your son, and he will give you peace;
    yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
¹⁸ Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
    but one who keeps the law is blessed.
¹⁹ A servant can’t be corrected by words.
    Though he understands, yet he will not respond.
