'Rod' in the Bible
On the lips of the discerning, [skillful and godly] wisdom is found,But discipline and the rod are for the back of the one who is without common sense and understanding.
He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son,But he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love].
In the mouth of the [arrogant] fool [who rejects God] is a rod for his back,But the lips of the wise [when they speak with godly wisdom] will protect them.
He who sows injustice will reap [a harvest of] trouble,And the rod of his wrath [with which he oppresses others] will fail.
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;The rod of discipline [correction administered with godly wisdom and lovingkindness] will remove it far from him.
Do not withhold discipline from the child;If you swat him with a reed-like rod [applied with godly wisdom], he will not die.
You shall swat him with the reed-like rodAnd rescue his life from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,And a rod for the backs of fools [who refuse to learn].
The rod and reproof (godly instruction) give wisdom,But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.
