Proverbs 23:13
Do not withhold discipline from a child;
if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
Once again the topic of physical discipline arises in the verse 13 and again in the next verse. I do not believe this means that you should beat a child unmercifully during your anger. But a good swat with a belt or something that will sting, on their behind, will leave a definite message that his actions were not acceptable. I know even believers who say you should not swat a child physically as it will lower their self esteem. I have pointed out to some, what Proverbs says, more than once. Warn them once but if the same misdemeanor happens again, it is time for a loving physical reprimand. Lord, help parents to have wisdom in the correction of their correction of their children. Amen

Linda G. from Ocala, FL said:
There is nothing wrong with discipline a child how will the know they have done wrong if they are not told. That's whats wrong with the world today parents have lost control of the family. It's a shame they need to turn back to God.
