18  ^fDiscipline your son, for there is hope;

do not set your heart on ^gputting him to death.

15  Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,

but ⁿthe rod of discipline drives it far from him.

13  Do not withhold ⁿdiscipline from a child;

^oif you strike him with a rod, he will not die.

14  If you strike him with the rod,

you will ^psave his soul from Sheol.

15  ^vThe rod and reproof give wisdom,

but a child left to himself ^wbrings shame to his mother.

17  ^yDiscipline your son, and he will give you rest;

he will give delight to your heart.
