不忍用杖打兒子的，是恨惡他；疼愛兒子的，隨時管教。
He who spares the rod hates his son,
but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.


趁有指望，管教你的兒子；你的心不可任他死亡。
Discipline your son, for in that there is hope;
do not be a willing party to his death.


不可不管教孩童；你用杖打他，他必不至於死。
Do not withhold discipline from a child;
if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.


杖打和責備能加增智慧；放縱的兒子使母親羞愧。
The rod of correction imparts wisdom,
but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.


管教你的兒子，他就使你得安息，也必使你心裏喜樂。
Discipline your son, and he will give you peace;
he will bring delight to your soul.
