Proverbs 23:13

Lighthouse Bible 2006

Do not withhold correction from the child: for if you beat him with the rod, he shall not die.

See the chapter Copy

He who spares his rod hates his son: but he who loves him disciplines him early.

Discipline 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.

Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.

Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight to your soul.

If you endure discipline, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father does not discipline?
