He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him, seeks him with discipline.
Discipline your son because there is expectation, And do not set your being on his destruction.
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline drives it far from him.

Discipline your son, And he brings you rest and delight to your life.
For whom יהוה loves He reproves, As a father the son whom he delights in.
“But he who sins against me injures himself; All who hate me love death!”
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and his own life too, he is unable to be My taught one.
“Thus you shall know in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so יהוה your Elohim disciplines you,
