Proverbs 29:17-19
EasyEnglish Bible
17 Warn your children when they do wrong things,
so that you have peace in your mind.
They will make you very happy.
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.
Proverbs 29:17-19
New International Version
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;
they will bring you the delights you desire.(A)
18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
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.
