“Correct your son, and he will give you peace;yes, he will bring delight to your soul.”
Proverbs 29:17 (WEB)
Context Reading
15The rod of correction gives wisdom,but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother. 16When the wicked increase, sin increases;but the righteous will see their downfall. 17Correct your son, and he will give you peace;yes, he will bring delight to your soul. 18Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;but one who keeps the law is blessed. 19A servant can’t be corrected by words.Though he understands, yet he will not respond.
