Proverbs 19:18-20

The Message

¹⁸ Discipline your children while you still have the chance;
    indulging them destroys them.

¹⁹ Let angry people endure the backlash of their own anger;
    if you try to make it better, you’ll only make it worse.

²⁰ Take good counsel and accept correction—
    that’s the way to live wisely and well.
