Proverbs 1:8-9 (English Standard Version)

The Enticement of Sinners

8 Hear, my son, your father's instruction,
    and forsake not your mother's teaching,
9 for they are a graceful garland for your head
    and pendants for your neck.

Proverbs 22:15 (English Standard Version)

15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
    but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

Proverbs 3:11-12 (English Standard Version)

11 My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline
    or be weary of his reproof,
12 for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
    as a father the son in whom he delights.
