Proverbs 29:18

All About Life

¹⁷
Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
Yes, he will delight your soul.
¹⁸ 
Where there is no vision [no revelation of God and His word], the people are unrestrained;
But happy and blessed is he who keeps the law [of God].
¹⁹
A servant will not be corrected by words alone;
For though he understands, he will not respond [nor pay attention].
