Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him chastens him promptly.
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, [but] the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest, yea, he will give delight to thy soul.
A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty, for if thou deliver [him], thou must do it yet again.
If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not hearken to them,
He whose spirit is without restraint is a city that is broken down and without walls.
