Ben Sira 30:11

11 Give him no authority in his youth, and do not ignore his errors.

Ben Sira 30:11 In-Context

9 Pamper a child, and he will frighten you; play with him, and he will give you grief.

10 Do not laugh with him, lest you have sorrow with him, and in the end you will gnash your teeth.

11 Give him no authority in his youth, and do not ignore his errors.

12 Bow down his neck in his youth, and beat his sides while he is young, lest he become stubborn and disobey you, and you have sorrow of soul from him.

13 Discipline your son and take pains with him, that you may not be offended by his shamelessness.
