Proverbs 19:18-20

New Life Version

¹⁸ Punish your son if he needs it while there is hope, and do not worry about his crying.

¹⁹ An angry man will suffer punishment. For if you save him from his trouble, you will only have to do it again.

²⁰ Listen to words about what you should do, and take your punishment if you need it, so that you may be wise the rest of your days.
