On Discipline...

Taken from the NIV, emphasis mine.

"The evil deeds of wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast. He will die for his lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly." (Proverbs 5:22-23)

"The corrections of discipline are the way to life." (Proverbs 6:23)

"He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame." (Proverbs 13:18)

"Stern discipline awaits him who leaves the path; he who hates correction will die." (Proverbs 15:10)

"He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline." (Proverbs 13:24)

"Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death." (Proverbs 19:18)

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." (Proverbs 12:6)

"Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him." (Proverbs 22:15)

"Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death." (Proverbs 23:13-14)

"The rod of correcton imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother." (Proverbs 29:15)

"Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul." (Proverbs 29:17)


Don't bother getting mad at me, God said it.
