⁶ Train up a child ^[a]in the way he should go,
And even when he is old he will not depart from it.

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

¹³ Withhold not correction from the child;
For ^[a]if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.
¹⁴ Thou shalt beat him with the rod,
And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom;
But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

¹⁷ Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest;
Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
