Such men will never be put to shame
when they speak with their enemies at the city gate.

Strike him with a rod,
and you will rescue his life from Sheol.

Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son,
and do not loathe His discipline;
for the Lord disciplines the one He loves,
just as a father, the son he delights in.
