Description

Most commentators of Proverbs interpret this verse as a promise to parents
who labor to rear their children in the nurture and instruction of the Lord. It
goes like this- if a parent commits to training, instructing, disciplining a
child in the way he should go, that is in the ways of God’s holy word; then
even when he is old he will not depart from that godly way. Indeed many
passages in Scripture, particularly in Proverbs, promote the diligent parental
pursuit of godliness in our children, promising that such diligence usually
produces children who love and obey God. Having granted this as a
legitimate interpretation of the text, I must also say that some commentators
see this verse as a warning against parental permissiveness.
