Proverbs 29:17-22 English Standard Version (ESV)

17. Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;he will give delight to your heart.

18. Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,but blessed is he who keeps the law.

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? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

21. Whoever pampers his servant from childhoodwill in the end find him his heir.

22. A man of wrath stirs up strife,and one given to anger causes much transgression.
