Proverbs 19:18-20

Lexham English Bible

¹⁸ Discipline your child, for there is hope,
    but on his destruction do not set your desire.^[a]
19 A hot-tempered person pays a penalty;
    if you rescue him, you will do it yet again.
²⁰ Listen to advice and accept instruction
    so that you will gain wisdom for your future.^[b]
