Proverbs 29:21

King James 2000

He that carefully brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son in the end.

See the chapter Copy

And Abram said, Behold, to me you have given no descendants: and, lo, one born in my house is my heir.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.

See you a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.

An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.

For an unloved woman when she is married; and a maidservant that is heir to her mistress.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.

But she that lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.
