Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on putting him to death.
