Proverbs 29:19

American Standard Version (1901)

A servant will not be corrected by words; For though he understand, he will not give heed.

See the chapter Copy

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, And a rod for the back of fools.

I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, Though 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 that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
