The rod of correction gives wisdom,
but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

Proverbs 29:15 in other translations

The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
Yahweh gives sight to the eyes of both.
14The king who fairly judges the poor,
his throne shall be established forever.
15The rod of correction gives wisdom,
but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
16When the wicked increase, sin increases;
but the righteous will see their downfall.
17Correct your son, and he will give you peace;
yes, he will bring delight to your soul.
