24  ^cWhoever spares the rod hates his son,

but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.¹

1  ^eThe wisest of women ^fbuilds her house,

but folly with her own hands ^gtears it down.

6  ^uGrandchildren are ^vthe crown of the aged,

and the glory of children is their fathers.

18  ^fDiscipline your son, for there is hope;

do not set your heart on ^gputting him to death.

7  The righteous who ^jwalks in his integrity—

^kblessed are his children after him!

6  ^wTrain up a child in the way he should go;

even when he is old he will not depart from it.

13  Do not withhold ⁿdiscipline from a child;

^oif you strike him with a rod, he will not die.

14  If you strike him with the rod,

you will ^psave his soul from Sheol.

15  ^vThe rod and reproof give wisdom,

but a child left to himself ^wbrings shame to his mother.

17  ^yDiscipline your son, and he will give you rest;

he will give delight to your heart.
