He that spareth his rod hateth his son;\par\tab But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest;\par\tab Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
The rod and reproof give wisdom;\par\tab But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope;\par\tab And set not thy heart on his destruction.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;\par\tab {\i But} the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth;\par\tab Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.\par
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:\par\tab All they that hate me love death.\par
{\cf6 If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee.
