Proverbs 29:19 Context
17Correct thy sonne, and hee shall giue thee rest: yea he shall giue delight vnto thy soule. 18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the Law, happy is he. 19A seruant will not be corrected by words: for though hee vnderstand, hee will not answere. 20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a foole then of him. 21He that delicately bringeth vp his seruant from a child, shall haue him become his sonne at the length.
