Proverbs 23:15 BBE

¹³  Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him.

¹⁴  Give him blows with the rod, and keep his soul safe from the underworld.

¹⁵  My son, if your heart becomes wise, I, even I, will be glad in heart;

¹⁶  And my thoughts in me will be full of joy when your lips say right things.

¹⁷  Have no envy of sinners in your heart, but keep in the fear of the Lord all through the day;
