¹³ Don't withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.

²⁴ One who spares the rod hates his son, But one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

¹⁸ Discipline your son, for there is hope; Don't be a willing party to his death.

¹⁵ The rod of correction gives wisdom, But a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

¹⁷ Correct your son, and he will give you peace; Yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
