Proverbs 29:17-19
Complete Jewish Bible
17 Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
yes, he will be your delight.
18 Without a prophetic vision, the people throw off all restraint;
but he who keeps Torah is happy.
19 A slave can’t be disciplined with words;
he may understand, but he won’t respond.

17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
they will bring you the delights you desire.(A)

but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.(B)
19 Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.
