He who withholdshis rodhateshis son,But he who loveshim disciplineshim diligently.
Disciplineyour sonwhilethereis hope,And do not desirehis death.
Foolishnessis boundup in the heartof a child;The rodof disciplinewill removeit farfrom him.
The rodand reproofgivewisdom,But a childwho getshis own waybringsshameto his mother.
Correctyour son,and he will giveyou comfort;He will also delightyour soul.
For whomthe LORDlovesHe reproves,Even as a father[corrects] the sonin whom he delights.
"But he who sinsagainst me injureshimself;Allthose who hateme lovedeath."
"Ifanyonecomesto Me, and does not hatehis own fatherand motherand wifeand childrenand brothersand sisters,yes,and evenhis ownlife,he cannotbe My disciple.
"Thus you are to knowin your heartthat the LORDyour Godwas discipliningyou justas a mandisciplineshis son.
