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

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

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

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

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