Proverbs 29:17

Modern King James Version

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

See the chapter Copy

The rod and rebuke give wisdom, but a boy sent off causes shame to his mother.

He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him chastens him early.

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Chasten your son while there is hope, and do not set your soul on making him die.
