Proverbs 29:15

Proverbs 29:15 The Message (MSG)

Wise discipline imparts wisdom; spoiled adolescents embarrass their parents.

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

The rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.

Correction and punishment make children wise, but those left alone will disgrace their mother.

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

A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.

The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

The rod and reproof (godly instruction) give wisdom, But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.

To discipline a child produces wisdom, but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.

Experiencing many corrections and rebukes will make you wise. But if left to your own ways, you’ll bring disgrace to your parents.

The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
