²⁴ He who spares his rod hates his son,
    but he who loves him disciplines him early.

14 Every wise woman builds her house,
    but the foolish pulls it down with her hands.

⁶ Grandchildren are the crown of old men,
    and the glory of children are their fathers.

¹⁸ Chasten your son while there is hope,
    and let not your soul spare for his crying.

⁷ The just man walks in his integrity;
    his children are blessed after him.

⁶ Train up a child in the way he should go,
    and when he is old he will not depart from it.

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom,
    but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.

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