13. Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
14. You shall strike him with the rod And rescue his soul from Sheol.
15. My son, if your heart is wise, My own heart also will be glad;
16. And my inmost being will rejoice When your lips speak what is right.
17. Do not let your heart envy sinners, But live in the fear of the Lord always.
18. Surely there is a future, And your hope will not be cut off.
