Proverbs 29:17

Correct your son, and he will give you rest. Yes, he will give you delight.

He who spares the rod (authority) hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines (instructs) him promptly.

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

A wise son makes a father glad: but a foolish son is sorrow (depression) (grief) for his mother.

Correct your son while there is hope. Do not contribute to his death.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child. The rod of discipline (instruction) will drive it far from him.

Do not withhold discipline from a child. If you spank him with a stick he will not die.
