Proverbs

1.. Beat your children hard and often. Don’t worry about hurting them. You may break a few bones and cause some brain damage, but it isn’t going to kill them. And even if they do die, they’ll be better off. They’ll thank you in heaven for beating the hell out of them. 23:13-14

2.. Whip horses, bridle asses, and strike the backs of foolish people with rods. 26:3

“maimed” than to suffer “everlasting fire.” 18:8-9
