Proverbs 23:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² Apply your mind to instruction and correction and your ears to words of knowledge.

¹³ Withhold not discipline from the child; for if you strike and punish him with the [reedlike] rod, he will not die.

¹⁴ You shall whip him with the rod and deliver his life from Sheol (Hades, the place of the dead).
