Proverbs 29:17

Give your son training, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your soul.

He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.

The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.

A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

Give your son training while there is hope; let not your heart be purposing his death.

Foolish ways are deep-seated in the heart of a child, but the rod of punishment will send them far from him.

Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him.
