Proverbs 23:16

Don’t withhold correction from a child.

If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.

Punish him with the rod,

and save his soul from Sheol.

My son, if your heart is wise,

then my heart will be glad, even mine.

Don’t let your heart envy sinners,

but rather fear the LORD all day long.

Indeed surely there is a future hope,

and your hope will not be cut off.

Listen, my son, and be wise,

and keep your heart on the right path!
