6The proverb is: A youth is close to his way; even when he is old, he will not withdraw from it.
4And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but educate them with the discipline and correction of the Lord.
13Do not be willing to take away discipline from a child. For if you strike him with the rod, he will not die. 14You will strike him with the rod, and so shall you deliver his soul from Hell.
15The rod and its correction distribute wisdom. But the child who is left to his own will, brings shame to his mother.
24He who spares the rod hates his son. But he who loves him urgently instructs him.
17Teach your son, and he will refresh you, and he will give delight to your soul.
7And you shall explain them to your sons. And you shall meditate upon them sitting in your house, and walking on a journey, when lying down and when rising up.
15Foolishness has been bound to the heart of a child, and a rod of discipline shall cause it to flee.
3Behold, the inheritance of the Lord is sons, the reward is the fruit of the womb.
16All Scripture, having been divinely inspired, is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in justice, 17so that the man of God may be perfect, having been trained for every good work.
18Teach your son; do not despair. But do not set your soul toward putting him to death.
3Behold, the inheritance of the Lord is sons, the reward is the fruit of the womb. 4Like arrows in the hand of the powerful, so are the sons of those who have been cast out. 5Blessed is the man who has filled his desire from these things. He will not be confounded when he speaks to his enemies at the gate.
20Children, obey your parents in all things. For this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
