Proverbs 29:19-23

¹⁹A servant will not be trained by words; for though the sense of the words is clear to him, he will not give attention.

²⁰Have you seen a man who is quick with his tongue? There is more hope for a foolish man than for him.

²¹If a servant is gently cared for from his early years, he will become a cause of sorrow in the end.

²²An angry man is the cause of fighting, and a man given to wrath does much wrong.

²³A man's pride will be the cause of his fall, but he who has a gentle spirit will get honour.
