3:21-26
My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment,
do not let them out of your sight;
they will be life for you, an ornament to grace
your neck.
Then you will go on your way in safety, and your
foot will not stumble;
when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when
you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin
that overtakes the wicked,
for the LORD will be your confidence and will
keep your foot from being snared.
4:20-22
My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely
to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight, keep them
within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them and
health to a man's whole body.
5:11-14
At the end of your life you will groan, when
your flesh and body are spent.
You will say, "How I hated discipline! How my
heart spurned correction!
I would not obey my teachers or listen to my
instructors.
I have come to the brink of utter ruin in the
midst of the whole assembly."
5:22-23
The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the
cords of his sin hold him fast.
He will die for lack of discipline, led astray
by his own great folly.
6:20-23
My son, keep your father's commands and do not
forsake your mother's teaching.
Bind them upon your heart forever; fasten them
around your neck.
When you walk, they will guide you; when you
sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake,
they will speak to you.
For these commands are a lamp, this teaching
is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life. . .
10:1 The proverbs of
Solomon: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to
his mother.
12:1 Whoever loves discipline
loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
13:1 A wise son heeds
his father's instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
13:18 He who ignores discipline
comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
13:24 He who spares the rod hates
his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.
15:5 A fool spurns his
father's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
15:10 Stern discipline awaits him
who leaves the path; he who hates correction will die.
15:20 A wise son brings joy to his
father, but a foolish man despises his mother.
17:6 Children's children
are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
17:21 To have a fool for a son brings
grief; there is no joy for the father of a fool.
17:25 A foolish son brings grief
to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him.
19:13 A foolish son is his father's
ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
19:18 Discipline your son, for in
that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
19:26 He who robs his father and
drives out his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.
19:27 Stop listening to instruction,
my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
22:6 Train a child in
the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart
of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
23:13 Do not withhold discipline
from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.
23:14 Punish him with the rod and
save his soul from death.
29:15 The rod of correction imparts
wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
29:17 Discipline your son, and he
will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul.
