- "He that sparethª° his rodª hatethª° his son:ª but he that lovethª° him chastenethª him betimes.ª°" {Prv 13:24} + "Foolishnessª [is] boundª° in the heartª of a child;ª [but] the rodª of correctionª shall drive it farª° from¹ him." {Prv 22:15} + "Withholdª° not¹ correctionª from the child:ª¹ for¹ [if] thou beatestª° him with the rod,ª he shall not¹ die.ª° ... Thou¹ shalt beatª° him with the rod,ª and shalt deliverª° his soulª from hell.ª¹" {Prv 23:13-14} + "The rodª and reproofª giveª° wisdom:ª but a childª leftª° [to himself] bringeth his motherª to shame.ª°" {Prv 29:15} + "Correctª° thy son,ª and he shall give thee rest;ª° yea, he shall giveª° delightª unto thy soul.ª" {Prv 29:17} + "Ifª ye endureª° chastening,ª Godª dealethª° with youª asª with sons;ª forª whatª sonª is¹ he²° whomª the fatherª chastenethª° not?ª ... Forª they¹ verilyª forª a fewª daysª chastenedª° [us] afterª their own²¹ pleasure;ª° butª he¹ forª [our] profit,ª° that² [we] might be partakersª° of hisª holiness.ª" {Hbr 12:7-10}
