Proverbs 29:15

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁵The rod and reproof give wisdom:
but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Proverbs 29:15

New King James Version

¹⁵The rod and rebuke give ^(A)wisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

¹⁷Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest;
yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

¹⁷Correct your son, and he will give you rest;
Yes, he will give delight to your soul.

¹⁹A servant will not be corrected by words:
for though he understand he will not answer.

¹⁹A servant will not be corrected by mere words;
For though he understands, he will not respond.

²¹He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child
shall have him become his son at the length.

²¹He who pampers his servant from childhood
Will have him as a son in the end.
