Yes, he will give delight to your soul.

²⁴Whoever spares the rod^(A) hates their children,
but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline^(B) them.^(C)

²⁴He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

But he who loves him disciplines him ^[a]promptly.
