Proverbs 23:11-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
11
For their Redeemer is strong;
He will plead their case against you.
12
Apply your heart to discipline,
And your ears to words of knowledge.
13
Do not withhold discipline from a child;
Though you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
14
You shall strike him with the rod
And rescue his soul from Sheol.
15
My son, if your heart is wise,
My own heart also will be glad,
16
And my innermost being will rejoice
When your lips speak what is right.
King James Version
Chapter 23
11
For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
12
Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15
My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16
Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 23
11
for their Redeemer is strong,

and listen to words of knowledge.

Don’t withhold discipline from a youth;
if you punish him with a rod, he will not die.

Punish him with a rod,
and you will rescue his life from Sheol.
15
My son, if your heart is wise,
my heart will indeed rejoice.
16
My innermost being will celebrate
when your lips say what is right.

11
For their Redeemer is strong;
he himself will bring their charges against you.

Commit yourself to instruction;
listen carefully to words of knowledge.

Don’t fail to discipline your children.
The rod of punishment won’t kill them.

My child, if your heart is wise,
my own heart will rejoice!
16
Everything in me will celebrate
when you speak what is right.
