Proverbs 23:13

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

Withhold not correction from the child: For if thou beat him with the rod, he shall not die.

See the chapter Copy

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; And set not thy heart on his destruction.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Apply thine heart unto instruction, And thine ears to the words of knowledge.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; Yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?
