17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace;they will bring you the delights you desire.
18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.
19 Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;though they understand, they will not respond.
20 Do you see someone who speaks in haste?There is more hope for a fool than for them.
21 A servant pampered from youthwill turn out to be insolent.
22 An angry person stirs up conflict,and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.
23 Pride brings a person low,but the lowly in spirit gain honour.
