Proverbs 29:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ If people do not hear God's message,
    there is no law to control them.
But if someone obeys God's law,
    he is in a happy place.
¹⁹ You must use more than words to show a servant what is right.
    Even if he understands what you say, he will not obey you.
²⁰ Do you know anyone who speaks before he thinks?
    A foolish person is more likely to become wise than that person.
