A child needs to be corrected or even punished at times. However, when the parents don't do their job, in this area, their child is going to be hard to control and out of control. They're going to drive their parents, to an early grave and they're going to be a disgrace to the family. When that all happens, the parents say, "I wonder what went wrong with our child." What went wrong is they didn't correct their child and they didn't punish them, when needed. How can we have wisdom, if we're not corrected and what will make us do right, if there's no punishment for doing wrong? Let's say I went through life stealing stuff from other children. If my parents never correct me, how will I know it's not right? If I don't get punished, what will stop me from doing it? This message, is important there are so many neglected children out there. I remember one time, a child was walking toward our moving car, he could've gotten hit, but he kept coming. His parents were right behind him, but they didn't say anything or do anything. People, really need to take the time for their children. Also, if people don't take the time for their children, imagine how much more evil, this world will be in the next generation or the one after that. This message, can't be ignored. People need to make a lasting impact with their children. Because your child will one day have a child and their child, will have one and the cycle will continue.

You can also, look at this scripture in another way. God, corrects us, because He loves us. However what would happen if God, didn't correct us? What would happen if God, didn't have a punishment set for the evil doers? Well, I can tell you, what would happen. We would all continue in our evil ways and we wouldn't even have a relationship with God. We would bring our Father, to shame. We're all children to God and when He corrects us, we should take our correction and be happy about it. We should teach our children, what God, has taught us. We need to live like God, wants us to, that way your children can see and other people in general can see. We need to be happy, that God, loves us enough to correct us.
