The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left {to himself} bringeth his mother to shame.

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.

Withhold not correction from the child: for {if} thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. {for...: or, to his destruction: or, to cause him to die}

Foolishness {is} bound in the heart of a child; {but} the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son {in whom} he delighteth.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left {to himself} bringeth his mother to shame.

Withhold not correction from the child: for {if} thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Foolishness {is} bound in the heart of a child; {but} the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. {for...: or, to his destruction: or, to cause him to die}

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and {that}, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son {is} stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; {he is} a glutton, and a drunkard.
