Proverbs 29:17-21 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

17. Discipline your children, and they will bring you comfort,and give delight to your soul.

18. Without a vision the people lose restraint;but happy is the one who follows instruction.

19. Not by words alone can servants be trained;for they understand but do not respond.

20. Do you see someone hasty in speech?There is more hope for a fool!

21. If servants are pampered from childhoodthey will turn out to be stubborn.
