Proverbs 29:19

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹A slave will not be instructed by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no response.

Proverbs 29:19

New Living Translation

¹⁹Words alone will not discipline a servant;
the words may be understood, but they are not heeded.

²¹One who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be rebellious.

²¹A servant pampered from childhood
will become a rebel.
