Proverbs 29:18-20
New Catholic Bible
18 Without prophecy the people become uncontrollable,
but blessed are those who keep the law.[a]
19 Mere words do not suffice to control a servant;
even though he understands, he will not obey you.
20 Do you see someone who is too eager to speak?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
