Proverbs 22:15

15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him.

Proverbs 22:15 In-Context

13 The lazy man says, "There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!"
14 The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit; He who is abhorred by the Lord will fall there.
15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him.
16 He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches, And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.
17 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge;
