Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 29 of Proverbs. The rod and correction appear as instruments of formation, especially within the family. Without discipline, a child can bring shame; with proper instruction, the aim is to develop responsibility. The vision expands to society: when wickedness increases, sin multiplies, but the presence of the righteous produces stability. The chapter also warns against excessive trust in servants or subordinates without proper formation.

Hai tu mai veduto un uomo precipitoso nel suo parlare? Vi è maggiore speranza d’uno stolto che di lui
Tens visto um homem precipitado no falar? Maior esperança há para um tolo do que para ele.
