Proverbs 29:19

A Conservative Version

A servant will not be corrected by words, for though he understands, he will not give heed.

See the chapter Copy

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools.

I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I entreat him with my mouth.

For a servant when he is king, and a fool when he is filled with food,

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

See thou a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
