Proverbs 29:18-20

English Standard Version

¹⁸ Where ^(A)there is no prophetic vision the people ^(B)cast off restraint,^[a]
    but blessed is he who ^(C)keeps the law.
¹⁹ By mere words a servant is not disciplined,
    for though he understands, he will not respond.
²⁰ Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
    ^(D)There is more hope for a fool than for him.
