Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father: but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.
He that spares his rod hates his son: but he that loves him chastens him early.
Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul spare for his crying.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.
