Proverbs 23:13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Do not withhold discipline from your children; if you beat them with a rod, they will not die.

See the chapter Copy

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

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

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

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

Endure trials for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as children, for what child is there whom a parent does not discipline?

Apply your mind to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge.

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