^11 (A)My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor detest His correction;
¹² For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
^(B)Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

¹⁷ He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,
But he who refuses correction ^[a]goes astray.

¹⁸ Poverty and shame will come to him who ^[a]disdains correction,
But ^(A)he who regards a rebuke will be honored.

^24 (A)He who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him ^[a]promptly.

^5 (A)A fool despises his father’s instruction,
^(B)But he who ^[a]receives correction is prudent.

^10 (A)Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way,
And ^(B)he who hates correction will die.

^12 (A)A scoffer does not love one who corrects him,
Nor will he go to the wise.

^18 (A)Chasten your son while there is hope,
And do not set your heart ^[a]on his destruction.
