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

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

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

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

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