Proverbs 23:13

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die.

See the chapter Copy

He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes.

Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.

Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.

Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not correct?

Let thy heart apply itself to instruction: and thy ears to words of knowledge.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, and the rod of correction shall drive it away.
