13Withhold not correction from the child; [For] if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.

14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.

15My son, if thy heart be wise, My heart will be glad, even mine:

16Yea, my heart will rejoice, When thy lips speak right things.

17Let not thy heart envy sinners; But [be thou] in the fear of Jehovah all the day long:

18For surely there is a reward; And thy hope shall not be cut off.

19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And guide thy heart in the way.
