Proverbs 29:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.

²⁰Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.

²¹He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.

Proverbs 29:19-21

New International Version

¹⁹Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.

²⁰Do you see someone who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.^(A)

²¹A servant pampered from youth
will turn out to be insolent.
