Proverbs 29:19 in Context — Proverbs 29
17 Châtie ton fils, et il te donnera du repos, Et il procurera des délices à ton âme.
18 Quand il n’y a pas de révélation, le peuple est sans frein; Heureux s’il observe la loi!
19 Ce n’est pas par des paroles qu’on châtie un esclave; Même s’il comprend, il n’obéit pas.
20 Si tu vois un homme irréfléchi dans ses paroles, Il y a plus à espérer d’un insensé que de lui.
21 Le serviteur qu’on traite mollement dès l’enfance Finit par se croire un fils.
