So don’t bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you.Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.

I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.

Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline; whoever learns from correction is wise.

You cannot separate fools from their foolishness, even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.

Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness! If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don’t let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds.

A wise child accepts a parent’s discipline; a mocker refuses to listen to correction.

If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded will learn a lesson; if you correct the wise, they will be all the wiser.

Words alone will not discipline a servant; the words may be understood, but they are not heeded.
