17. Correct your son, and he will give you rest;Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
18. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;But 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.
20. Do you see a man hasty in his words?There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21. He who pampers his servant from childhoodWill have him as a son in the end.
22. An angry man stirs up strife,And a furious man abounds in transgression.
23. A man’s pride will bring him low,But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
