¹³ Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest him with a rod he dieth not.

²⁴ Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is loving him hath hastened him chastisement.

¹⁸ Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to death lift not up thy soul.

¹⁵ A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is shaming his mother.

¹⁷ Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he giveth delights to thy soul.
