Proverbs 29:21

19 A servant cannot be corrected by words alone; though he understands, he will not respond.

20 Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

A servant pampered from his youth will bring grief in the end.

22 An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.

23 A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
