Proverbs 29:19

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.

See the chapter Copy

A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.

I called my servant, and he gave me no answer: I entreated him with my own mouth.

By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:

When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.

Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.
