Proverbs 29:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ By mere words servants are not disciplined,
    for though they understand, they will not give heed.
²⁰ Do you see someone who is hasty in speech?
    There is more hope for a fool than for anyone like that.
²¹ A slave pampered from childhood
    will come to a bad end.^[a]
