Don’t withhold discipline from a youth;
if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.

The one who will not use the rod hates his son,
but the one who loves him disciplines him diligently.

Discipline your son while there is hope;
don’t be intent on killing him.

A rod of correction imparts wisdom,
but a youth left to himself
is a disgrace to his mother.

Discipline your son, and it will bring you peace of mind
and give you delight.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Summary
