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.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words, for though he understands he will not answer.
21 He who delicately brings up his servant from a child will have him as a son in the end.
