17 Correct your son, and he will give you peace;yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
18 Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;but one who keeps the Torah is blessed.
19 A servant can’t be corrected by words.Though he understands, yet he will not respond.
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 youthwill have him become a son in the end.
22 An angry man stirs up strife,and a wrathful man abounds in sin.
23 A man’s pride brings him low,but one of lowly spirit gains honour.
