NASB | Proverbs 23:13 ¶ Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 23:13 ¶ Do not withhold discipline from the child; If you swat him with a reed-like rod [applied with godly wisdom], he will not die. |
Subject: beating your child with a rod |
Bible Note: I'm in total agreement with you hank. I was subject to a fair share of that verbal abuse growing up. Sounds like your children aren't going to turn out too bad :-) I steered my recipient to the "Parenting is not for cowards" book, written by Dr. James Dobson. One of several books on raising children. I think the book could provide a lot more help than I could provide. |
