Proverbs 29:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ Servants can’t be corrected only by words.
    Even if they understand, they won’t obey.

²⁰ Have you seen someone who speaks without thinking?
    There is more hope for foolish people than for that person.

²¹ A servant who has been spoiled from youth
    will have no respect for you later on.
