Proverbs 29:15

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Discipline your child, and he will give you rest; he will bring you happiness.

Train a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Do not withhold discipline from a child; even if you strike him with the rod, he will not die.

For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.

The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise child makes a father rejoice, but a foolish child is a grief to his mother.

Whoever brings a fool into the world does so to his grief, and the father of a fool has no joy.

(Now his father had never corrected him by saying, "Why do you do such things?" He was also very handsome and had been born right after Absalom.)

The one who spares his rod hates his child, but the one who loves his child is diligent in disciplining him.

Do not withhold discipline from a child; even if you strike him with the rod, he will not die.

Discipline your child, and he will give you rest; he will bring you happiness.
