Verse 14 is found in chapter 23 of Proverbs. The discipline of children appears within a formative perspective: correction seeks to rescue the young from destructive paths. The section also warns against envying sinners, drinking excessively, and giving oneself to gluttony. The image of a father who wants his son’s heart to be wise shows that moral formation aims at inner transformation, not merely external obedience.

Du haust ihn mit der Rute; aber du errettest seine Seele vom Tode.
Tú lo herirás con vara, Y librarás su alma del infierno.

En le frappant de la verge, Tu délivres son âme du séjour des morts.
Tu lo batterai con la verga, E libererai l’anima sua dall’inferno.
Tu a fustigarás com a vara, e livrarás a sua alma do inferno.
你用杖打他, 就可以救他的性命免下陰間。
