15 The (A)rod and a rebuke give wisdom,But a child [a]who gets his own way (B)brings shame to his mother.
17 (A)Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;He will also [a](B)delight your soul.
19 A slave will not be instructed by words alone;For though he understands, there will be no response.
21 One who pampers his slave from childhoodWill in the end find him to be rebellious.
