Proverbs 23:13

American Standard Version (1901)

Withhold not correction from the child; For if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.

See the chapter Copy

He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; And set not thy heart on his destruction.

It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?

Apply thy heart unto instruction, And thine ears to the words of knowledge.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
