“The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame” (15).
“Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul” (17).
Do it justly.
Do it prayerfully.
Do it sadly.
Do it carefully.
Do it lovingly.
Do it firmly.
Do it consistently.
Do it calmly.
Do it painfully.
Do it redemptively.
Do it patiently.

Or governor…. Or mayor…. Or any kind of elected leader….
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” (2).
“The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it” (4).
“Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath” (8).
Even though I’m not any kind of political leader, I am in other positions of authority.
Does my leadership bless and assure and secure and protect and direct and rejoice those “under” me?
