Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
The Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
