Proverbs 29:19-21

New Living Translation

¹⁹Words alone will not discipline a servant;
the words may be understood, but they are not heeded.

²⁰There is more hope for a fool
than for someone who speaks without thinking.

²¹A servant pampered from childhood
will become a rebel.

Proverbs 29:19-21

New International Version

¹⁹Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.

²⁰Do you see someone who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.^(A)

²¹A servant pampered from youth
will turn out to be insolent.
