18  ^wDiscipline your son, for there is hope;

^xdo not set your heart on putting him to death.

15  ^pFolly is bound up in the heart of a child,

but the rod of ^qdiscipline drives it far from him.

13  ⁱDo not withhold discipline from a child;

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

14  If you strike him with the rod,

you will save his soul from Sheol.

15  ^gThe rod and ^hreproof give wisdom,

but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
