Context Reading
17Correct your son, and he will give you peace;yes, he will bring delight to your soul. 18Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;but one who keeps the law is blessed. 19A servant can’t be corrected by words.Though he understands, yet he will not respond. 20Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?There is more hope for a fool than for him. 21He who pampers his servant from youthwill have him become a son in the end.
