Proverbs 29:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ Where there is no word from God, people are uncontrolled,
    but those who obey what they have been taught are happy.

¹⁹ Words alone cannot correct a servant,
    because even if they understand, they won’t respond.

²⁰ Do you see people who speak too quickly?
    There is more hope for a foolish person than for them.
