One holding back his rod is hating his son, but he loving him seeks him with correction.
Chasten your son, for there is hope, and do not lift your soul on making him die.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a boy; the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a boy sent off causes shame to his mother.
Discipline your son, and you will get rest, and it will give delight to your soul.
for whom Jehovah loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son with whom he is pleased.
But he who sins against Me wrongs his own soul; all who hate Me love death.
If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers and sisters, and besides, even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
And you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, Jehovah your God disciplines you.
