Monday Proverb
Reewalal sa jabar ak sab jaam, te yar sa doom.
(translation) You should spoil your wife and your servant, but discipline your child.
(alternate translation) Spare the rod and spoil the child.
(explanation) Through kindness and generosity you can cause your wife and your servant to become very attached to you, but you should not treat your child that way. A child needs to be disciplined firmly in order to prepare him for the difficulties of life.
“Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will
not die.” Proverbs 23:13 NIV
