Proverbs 13:24

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

²³ Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor,
But it is swept away by injustice.
²⁴ He who withholds his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him diligently.
²⁵ The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite,
But the stomach of the wicked is in need.
