He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
