Proverbs 19:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ Discipline your son in his early years while there is hope. If you don’t, you will ruin his life.

¹⁹ A short-tempered man must bear his own penalty; you can’t do much to help him. If you try once, you must try a dozen times!

²⁰ Get all the advice you can and be wise the rest of your life.
