Proverbs 19:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ When your children do wrong things,
    warn them while you still have the chance.
If you do not punish them,
    you are helping them to go to an early death.
¹⁹ Anyone who cannot control his anger is always getting into trouble.
    If you try to help him once, you will have to do it every time.
²⁰ Accept advice and good teaching.
    Then you will become wise one day.
