Proverbs 23:14

14 Strike them with a rod, and you will save their lives from the grave.

Proverbs 23:14 In-Context

12 Bring your mind to instruction, your ear to knowledgeable sayings.
13 Don't withhold instruction from children; if you strike them with a rod, they won't die.
14 Strike them with a rod, and you will save their lives from the grave.
15 My child, if your heart is wise, then my heart too will be happy.
16 My inner being will rejoice when your lips speak with integrity.
