Proverbs 23:14 bbe — Give him blows with the rod, and keep his soul safe from the underworld.

For their saviour is strong, and he will take up their cause against you.

Give your heart to teaching, and your ears to the words of knowledge.

Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him.

My son, if your heart becomes wise, I, even I, will be glad in heart;

And my thoughts in me will be full of joy when your lips say right things.

Have no envy of sinners in your heart, but keep in the fear of the Lord all through the day;
