Proverbs 29:17

The Scriptures 1998

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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.

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