a rod.
a child.
 See notes on Proverbs 19:18, and 23:13, 14. An undisciplined child will bring shame upon his mother and ruin upon himself. To refuse to chasten him because of personal repugnance to causing temporary pain, is to manifest hatred instead of love. Correction and reproof, properly administered, are for the child’s best interests, and open his heart to wisdom. (Proverbs Twenty-Nine by H.A. Ironside)
