24 (A)He who spares his rod hates his son,But he who loves him disciplines him [a]promptly.
18 (A)Chasten your son while there is hope,And do not set your heart [a]on his destruction.
15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;(A)The rod of correction will drive it far from him.
13 (A)Do not withhold correction from a child,For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.
15 The rod and rebuke give (A)wisdom,But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
