The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; And set not thy heart on his destruction.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
The rod and reproof give wisdom: But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
