Proverbs 29:19-21
Revised Standard Version
19 By mere words a servant is not disciplined,
for though he understands, he will not give heed.
20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 He who pampers his servant from childhood,
will in the end find him his heir.[a]
