¹⁸ Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; nd set not thy heart on his destruction.

²⁴ He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; `But' the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

¹³ Withhold not correction from the child; `For' if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.

¹⁴ Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.

¹⁷ Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

⁷ It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom `his' father chasteneth not?

⁸ But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

⁹ Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days chastened `us' as seemed good to them; but he for `our' profit, that `we' may be partakers of his holiness.
