Proverbs 29:17

¹⁷Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.

¹⁷Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

¹⁷Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.

¹⁷Discipline your children and they won't give you any worries; they will make you very happy.

¹⁵The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

¹^[+] The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

²⁴One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

¹³Don’t withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die. ¹⁴Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.

¹⁸Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.

¹⁵Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
