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

¹⁵ The rod and rebuke give ^(A)wisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

^24 (A)He who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him ^[a]promptly.

^(B)A wise son makes a glad father,
But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

^13 (A)Do not withhold correction from a child,
For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.
¹⁴ You shall beat him with a rod,
And deliver his soul from ^[a]hell.

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
^(A)The rod of correction will drive it far from him.

^18 (A)Chasten your son while there is hope,
And do not set your heart ^[a]on his destruction.
