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