Proverbs 29:19

"Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but one who keeps the law is blessed."

Key Reflection

This verse suggests that without divine guidance or revelation, people tend to abandon moral and ethical boundaries. Conversely, those who adhere strictly to the law find blessings and guidance in their lives.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Servant -i. e., A slave, whose obedience is reluctant. He may “understand” the words, but they produce no good effect. There is still lacking the true “answer” of obedience.
