Proverbs 19:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸Correct your children while there is still hope;
do not let them destroy themselves.

¹⁹People with quick tempers will have to pay for it.
If you help them out once, you will have to do it again.

²⁰Listen to advice and accept correction,
and in the end you will be wise.
