19 By mere words a servant is not disciplined,
    for though he understands, he will not respond.
20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
    (A)There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 Whoever pampers his servant from childhood
    will in the end find him his heir.[a]
22 (B)A man of wrath stirs up strife,
    and one given to anger causes much transgression.
