¹⁵ Punishment and correction make a child wise.
    If he is left to do as he pleases, he will disgrace his mother.

¹⁷ Correct your child, and you will be proud of him.
    He will give you pleasure.

¹⁹ Words alone cannot correct a servant.
    Even if he understands, he won’t respond.

²¹ Don’t spoil your servant when he is young.
    If you do, he will bring you grief later on.
