Do not holdbackdisciplinefrom the child,Althoughyou strikehim with the rod,he will not die.
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.
Applyyour heartto disciplineAnd your earsto wordsof knowledge.
The rodand reproofgivewisdom,But a childwho getshis own waybringsshameto his mother.
Correctyour son,and he will giveyou comfort;He will also delightyour soul.
It is for disciplinethat you endure;Goddealswith you as with sons;for whatsonis there whom[his] fatherdoes not discipline?
