The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
