Correcting wayward child

Correcting wayward child

(Verses 13 & 14 of Chapter 23 in Proverbs are clubbed together).

Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die (Proverbs 23:13).Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell (Proverbs 23:14).

You should punish your wayward child. Punishing your child need not be by a rod. It can be by rebuke or by withholding any reward. Rod means strong action that pinches the heart of the child concerned. and makes the latter repent. If your child does not obey you, you should take strong action against him so that the child may not become worthy of entering the hell on death.
