Proverbs 19:18-19

King James Version

¹⁸Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

¹⁹A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

Proverbs 19:18-19

New International Version

¹⁸Discipline your children, for in that there is hope;
do not be a willing party to their death.^(A)

¹⁹A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty;
rescue them, and you will have to do it again.

¹⁸^(A)Chasten your son while there is hope,
And do not set your heart ^[a]on his destruction.

¹⁹A man of great wrath will suffer punishment;
For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.
