Proverbs 29:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Words alone cannot correct a servant.
    Even if he understands, he won’t respond.

²⁰ Sometimes you see people who speak too quickly.
    There is more hope for a foolish person than for them.

²¹ Don’t spoil your servant when he is young.
    If you do, he will bring you grief later on.
