Spanking your Child

He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently.

Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.

Do not withhold discipline from a child; although you strike him with a rod, he will not die.

Strike him with a rod, and you will deliver his soul from Sheol.

Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.

No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.

Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.
