Proverbs 29:17

The Scriptures 1998

Discipline your son, And he brings you rest and delight to your life.

See the chapter Copy

A rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child unrestrained brings shame to his mother.

He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him, seeks him with discipline.

Proverbs of Shelomoh: A wise son makes a father rejoice, But a foolish son is his mother’s sorrow.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline drives it far from him.

Discipline your son because there is expectation, And do not set your being on his destruction.
