Training Up a Child

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

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

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.

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

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

Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

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

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