1599 Geneva Bible
19 A [a]servant will not be chastised with words: though he understand, yet he will not [b]answer.
20 Seest thou a man hasty in his matters? there is more hope of a fool, than of him.
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from youth, at length he will be even as his son.

19 Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.

will turn out to be insolent.
