Proverbs 13:24

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Those who spare the rod hate their children, but those who love them are diligent to discipline them.

See the chapter Copy

Discipline your children while there is hope; do not set your heart on their destruction.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far away.

The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by a neglected child.

Discipline your children, and they will give you rest; they will give delight to your heart.

for the Lord reproves the one he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

but those who miss me injure themselves; all who hate me love death.”

“Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.

Know, then, in your heart that, as a parent disciplines a child, so the Lord your God disciplines you.
