Proverbs 23:13-18

¹³Do not thou withdraw chastising or discipline, from a child; for though thou smitest him with a rod, he shall not die.

¹⁴Thou shalt smite him with a rod, and thou shalt deliver his soul from hell.

¹⁵My son, if thy soul is wise, mine heart shall have joy with thee;

¹⁶and my reins shall make full out joy, when thy lips speak rightful or right things.

¹⁷Thine heart pursue or follow not sinners; but be thou in the dread of the Lord all day.

¹⁸For thou shalt have hope at the last, and thine abiding shall not be done away.
