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