Proverbs 29:17-19
New Century Version
17 Correct your children, and you will be proud;
they will give you satisfaction.
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.
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.
