Proverbs 19:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁸ Discipline your children while there is hope;
    do not set your heart on their destruction.
¹⁹ A violent-tempered person will pay the penalty;
    if you effect a rescue, you will only have to do it again.^[a]
20 Listen to advice and accept instruction,
    that you may gain wisdom for the future.
