17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire.
17 Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.
17 Discipline your children; you'll be glad you did - they'll turn out delightful to live with.
17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad.
