Proverbs 29:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Where there is no prophecy the people cast off restraint,
    but blessed is he who keeps the law.
¹⁹ By mere words a servant is not disciplined,
    for though he understands, he will not give heed.
²⁰ Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
    There is more hope for a fool than for him.
