Proverbs 23:14

Bible in Basic English 1965

Give him blows with the rod, and keep his soul safe from the underworld.

See the chapter Copy

He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.

Foolish ways are deep-seated in the heart of a child, but the rod of punishment will send them far from him.

But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

That this man is to be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may have forgiveness in the day of the Lord Jesus.
