Bible Question: where is this in bible? spare the rod spoil the child |
Bible Answer: That phrase is not in the Bible. It is from an old English poem Love is a Boy, by Poets styl'd, Then Spare the Rod, and spill the Child. (according to the UK website, spill means spoil). The closest you will find in the Bible is in Proverbs: Pro 13:24 Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him. Brad |
