^13 (A)Do not withhold discipline from the child,
Although you ^[a]strike him with the rod, he will not die.
¹⁴ You shall ^[b]strike him with the rod
And ^(B)deliver his soul from Sheol.

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

^17 (A)Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
And he will ^(B)give delight to your soul.

¹⁹ A slave will not be corrected by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no answer.

²¹ He who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be ^[a]arrogant.
