¹⁸ 
Discipline and teach your son while there is hope,
And do not [indulge your anger or resentment by imposing inappropriate punishment nor] desire his destruction.

¹⁵ 
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of discipline [correction administered with godly wisdom and lovingkindness] will remove it far from him.

¹⁵ 
The rod and reproof (godly instruction) give wisdom,
But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.

¹⁷ 
Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
Yes, he will delight your soul.
