He who withholds his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him diligently.

It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?read more.
For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

Discipline your son while there is hope,
And do not desire his death.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.

Do not hold back discipline from the child,
Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
