Proverbs 29:17

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

Correct your son, and he will give you shalom; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.

See the chapter Copy

The proverbs of Shlomo. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

Discipline your son, for there is hope; don't be a willing party to his death.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
