The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son gives joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.
He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent with discipline.
Discipline your son while there is hope. Do not set your heart on his death.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but a rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
A rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
