Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Ver. 14. And shall deliver his soul frown hell.] Fond and foolish parents are peremptores potius quam parentes, a rather parricides than parents; since Qui non, cum potest, servat, occidit, by not saving their children they slay them; by cockering then, in their sin they pitch them headlong into hell.
a Bernard., Epist. 111.
