Proverbs 23:13

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Thou shalt not withhold instruction from youth: if thou shalt strike him with a rod he shall not die.

See the chapter Copy

He withholding his rod hates his son: and he loving him, sought correction for him.

Correct thy son when there is hope, and thy soul shall not lift up for his sighing.

Folly being bound in the heart of a youth; the rod of correction shall remove it far off from him.

Bring thy heart to instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

The rod and reproofs will give wisdom: and the youth being left shames his mother.

Correct thy son and he shall cause thee to rest, and he shall give delight to thy soul.

If ye endure correction, God treats you as sons; for who is the son which the father corrects not?
