Bible Verses About Punishing Your Children

“Do not withhold discipline from a child; although you strike him with a rod, he will not die. Strike him with a rod, and you will deliver his soul from Sheol.”

“A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.”

“Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.”

“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined, his father and mother are to lay hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown, and say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. So you must purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.”

“Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.”

“For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?”

“Whoever strikes his father or mother must surely be put to death.”
