Correct your son, and he will give you rest; yes, he will give delight to your heart.

A man's pride will bring him low, but he who is of a humble spirit will obtain honor. [Prov. 15:33; 18:12; Isa. 66:2; Dan. 4:30; Matt. 23:12; James 4:6, 10; I Pet. 5:5.]

A man of wrath stirs up strife, and a man given to anger commits and causes much transgression.
