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

The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.

Η ραβδος και ο ελεγχος διδουσι σοφιαν· παιδιον δε απολελυμενον καταισχυνει την μητερα αυτου.

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