Proverbs 23:13–16

13 Don’t withhold discipline from a youth;

if you punish him with a rod, he will not die.m

14 Punish him with a rod,

and you will rescue his life from Sheol.n

15 My son, if your heart is wise,

my heart will indeed rejoice.o

16 My innermost being will celebrate

when your lips say what is right.p
