Correct thy son and he shall cause thee to rest, and he shall give delight to thy soul.
The rod and reproofs will give wisdom: and the youth being left shames his mother.
He withholding his rod hates his son: and he loving him, sought correction for him.
Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son will gladden a father: and a son of the foolish will grieve his mother.
Folly being bound in the heart of a youth; the rod of correction shall remove it far off from him.
Correct thy son when there is hope, and thy soul shall not lift up for his sighing.
