Proverbs 29:17-19

New King James Version

¹⁷ Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.

^18 (A)Where there is no ^[a]revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But ^(B)happy is he who keeps the law.

¹⁹ A servant will not be corrected by mere words;
For though he understands, he will not respond.
