Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
