¹⁵ Foolishness is bound into the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

¹³ Withhold not correction from the child, for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

¹⁴ Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

¹⁷ Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

¹⁹ A servant will not be corrected by words; for though he understand, he will not give heed.
