Proverbs 13:24

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

²³
Abundant food is in the fallow (uncultivated) ground of the poor,
But [without protection] it is swept away by injustice.
²⁴ 
He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love].
²⁵
The [consistently] righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite,
But the stomach of the wicked is in need [of bread].

Spares His Rod

Proverbs 19:18

Discipline and teach your son while there is hope,
And do not [indulge your anger or resentment by imposing inappropriate punishment nor] desire his destruction.

Proverbs 22:15

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of discipline [correction administered with godly wisdom and lovingkindness] will remove it far from him.

Proverbs 29:15

The rod and reproof (godly instruction) give wisdom,
But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.

Proverbs 23:13-14

Do not withhold discipline from the child;
If you swat him with a reed-like rod [applied with godly wisdom], he will not die.

Proverbs 29:17

Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
Yes, he will delight your soul.

For those whom the Lord loves He corrects,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 8:36

“But he who fails to find me or sins against me injures himself;
All those who hate me love and court death.”

Luke 14:26

“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life [in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God]—he cannot be My disciple.

Hebrews 12:6-8

For the Lord disciplines and corrects those whom He loves,
And He punishes every son whom He receives and welcomes [to His heart].”
