Proverbs 29:18-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. When prophecy fails, the people will be scattered. Yet truly, whoever guards the law is blessed.

19. A servant cannot be taught by words, because he understands what you say, but he disdains to respond.

20. Have you seen a man rushing to speak? Foolishness has more hope than his correction.

21. Whoever nurtures his servant delicately from childhood, afterwards will find him defiant.

22. A short-tempered man provokes quarrels. And whoever is easily angered is more likely to sin.

23. Humiliation follows the arrogant. And glory shall uphold the humble in spirit.
