Proverbs 19:18-19
New Living Translation (NLT)

Discipline your children while there is hope.
Otherwise you will ruin their lives.

In this passage of scripture, Solomon the aspect of disciplining your children. lack of discipline can lead to destruction and dis appointment.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left [to himself] bringeth his mother to shame.( Prv 29:15)

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.(Prv 22:15)

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. (Prv 29:17).

Just as God requires parents to correct their children and bring up them in the right way, He also corrects us so that our character can develop to be one that is outstanding and strong. (Proverb 3:11,12, Hebrews 12:5-11)

As Children of God, we all have to be trained, we will make mistakes and God will discipline us, but it is only because he loves us and wants the best for us; if we can submit to our earthly parents who God requires to discipline us, then we must submit to God as well and allow him to mold us into his image
