My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke,
-
because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.

-
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.
-
Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
-
Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.
-
A fool spurns a parent’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
-
Stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path; the one who hates correction will die.
-
Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.
-
Discipline your children, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to their death.
-
Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.
-
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.
-
Saying 13
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.

Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire.
