18 (A)Discipline your son while there is hope,And do not desire [a]his death.
18 Discipline your children while there is hope, but don’t plan to kill them.
17 (A)Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;He will also [a](B)delight your soul.
17 Instruct your children; they will give you peace of mind and bring delight into your life.
