15 A rod of correction imparts wisdom,(A)but a youth left to himself[a]is a disgrace to his mother.(B)
15 The rod and correction lead to wisdom, but children out of control shame their mothers.
17 Discipline your son, and it will bring you peace of mind(A)and give you delight.
17 Instruct your children; they will give you peace of mind and bring delight into your life.
