¹⁵ The ^(A)rod and reproof give wisdom,
But a child ^[a]who gets his own way ^(B)brings shame to his mother.

^17 (A)Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
He will also ^[a](B)delight your soul.

¹⁹ A slave will not be instructed by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no response.

²¹ He who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be a son.
