Whoever refuses to spank his son hates him, but whoever loves his son disciplines him from early on.
Discipline your son while there is still hope. Do not be the one responsible for his death.
Foolishness is firmly attached to a child’s heart. Spanking will remove it far from him.
A spanking and a warning produce wisdom, but an undisciplined child disgraces his mother.
Correct your son, and he will give you peace of mind. He will bring delight to your soul.
because the Lord warns the one he loves, even as a father warns a son with whom he is pleased.
Whoever sins against me harms himself. All those who hate me love death.”
“If people come to me and are not ready to abandon their fathers, mothers, wives, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as their own lives, they cannot be my disciples.
Learn this lesson by heart: The Lord your God was disciplining you as parents discipline their children.
