Proverbs 29:17

King James Version - American Edition

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

See the chapter Copy

The Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy 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 bringeth his mother to shame.
