Proverbs 22:15

The rod of discipline [correction administered with godly wisdom and lovingkindness] will remove it far from him.

Do not withhold discipline from the child;
If you [a]swat him with a reed-like rod [applied with godly wisdom], he will not die.

You shall [b]swat him with the reed-like rod
And rescue his life from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).
