¹¹ My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,
    and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
¹² For the Lord corrects those he loves,
    just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.^[a]

¹⁷ People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life,
    but those who ignore correction will go astray.

12 To learn, you must love discipline;
    it is stupid to hate correction.

¹⁸ If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace;
    if you accept correction, you will be honored.

²⁴ Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children.
    Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.
