²⁴ Those who withhold the rod hate their children,
    but the one who loves them applies discipline.

14 A wise woman builds her house,
    while a foolish woman tears hers down with her own hands.

⁶ Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly,
    and the glory of children is their parents.

¹⁸ Discipline your children while there is hope,
    but don’t plan to kill them.

⁷ The righteous live with integrity;
    happy are their children who come after them.

⁶ Train children in the way they should go;
    when they grow old, they won’t depart from it.

¹³ Don’t withhold instruction from children;
    if you strike them with a rod, they won’t die.
¹⁴ Strike them with a rod,
    and you will save their lives from the grave.^[a]

¹⁵ The rod and correction lead to wisdom,
    but children out of control shame their mothers.

¹⁷ Instruct your children; they will give you peace of mind
    and bring delight into your life.
