Discipline your son, for there is hope; don't be a willing party to his death.
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
Correct your son, and he will give you shalom; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
for whom the LORD loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.*
*If anyone comes to me, and doesn't hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my talmid.
You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
