Young's Literal Translation
17 Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.
18 Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is keeping the law, O his happiness!
19 By words a servant is not instructed though he understand, And there is nothing answering.

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