Proverbs 29:18-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 Where there is no prophecy, the people cast off restraint,
but happy are those who keep the law.(A)

for though they understand, they will not give heed.
20 Do you see someone who is hasty in speech?
There is more hope for a fool than for anyone like that.(B)
