¹⁵ A rod and chastising shall give wisdom; but a child, that is left to his own will, shameth his mother.

¹⁷ Teach thy son, and he shall comfort thee (and he shall be a comfort to thee); and he shall give delights to thy soul.

¹⁹ A servant may not be taught (only) by words; for he understandeth that that thou sayest, and he despiseth to answer. (A servant will not be corrected with words alone; for he understandeth what thou sayest, but he still despiseth to answer thee.)

²¹ He that nourisheth his servant delicately from childhood, shall find him (a) rebel afterward. (He who delicately careth for his servant from childhood, shall find him to be rebellious later.)
