Proverbs 23:13

God's Word

Do not hesitate to discipline a child. If you spank him, he will not die.

See the chapter Copy

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.

Live a more disciplined life, and listen carefully to words of knowledge.

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.

Endure your discipline. God corrects you as a father corrects his children. All children are disciplined by their fathers.
