Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; And set not thy heart on his destruction.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Apply thine heart unto instruction, And thine ears to the words of knowledge.

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; Yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?
