Proverbs 23:13
King James VersionSource notes
“Withhold not correction from the child: for thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.”
Context
10Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11For their redeemer mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
12Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13Withhold not correction from the child: for thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
