Proverbs 29:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ Words alone cannot ·correct [instruct] a servant,
because even if they understand, they won’t respond.

²⁰ Do you see people who speak too ·quickly [hastily]?
There is more hope for a foolish person than for them.

²¹ If you ·spoil [pamper] your servants when they are young,
they will bring you ·grief [trouble] later on.
