Proverbs 19:18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

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

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

A violent-tempered person will pay the penalty; if you effect a rescue, you will only have to do it again.

“If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him,

Like a city breached, without walls, is one who lacks self-control.
