Heb. his way.
when.
 To start the child right is of all importance. The saying of the Jesuit, “Give me your child till he is twelve, and I care not who has charge of him afterward,” has passed into a proverb. The tree follows the bent of its early years, and so with our sons and daughters. If taught to love the world, to crave its fashions and follies in childhood, they are almost certain to live for the world when they come to mature years. On the other hand if properly instructed as to the vanity of all that men of this present evil age live for, from the beginning, they are in little danger of reversing that judgment as they grow older. (Proverbs Twenty-Two by H.A. Ironside)
