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.
He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; And set not thy heart on his destruction.
