Ministry on This Verse

 The Septuagint reads, “a stubborn servant,” which seems to convey the right thought. Correction by words alone would avail little with such a one if unprincipled and self-willed. Therefore strict discipline would be required if he be made to render proper service, which is here implied in answering. (Proverbs Twenty-Nine by H.A. Ironside)

A servant is not corrected by words: he understandeth indeed, but he will not answer.
