જે માણસ પોતાના ચાકરને નાનપણથી વહાલપૂર્વક ઉછેરે છે, આખરે તે તેનો દીકરો થઈ બેસશે.

जो अपने दास को उसके लड़कपन से ही लाड़-प्यार से पालता है, वह दास अन्त में उसका बेटा बन बैठता है।

In context

19A servant can’t be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond.

20Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

21He who pampers his servant from youth will have him become a son in the end.

22An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in sin.

23A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.
