Quote by Bible
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. Proverbs 29:15
Summary
This quote from Proverbs 29:15 highlights the importance of discipline and guidance in shaping a child's behavior and character. The "rod and reproof" symbolize parental discipline, correction, and teachings, which help the child develop wisdom and understanding. On the other hand, if a child is neglected or allowed to do as they please without guidance, their behavior can lead to negative consequences, embarrassment, and shame for their mother or caregiver. Therefore, effective parenting involves a balance of discipline, guidance, and teaching to ensure the child's proper development and avoid potential problems.
