Verse 15 is found in chapter 29 of Proverbs. The rod and correction appear as instruments of formation, especially within the family. Without discipline, a child can bring shame; with proper instruction, the aim is to develop responsibility. The vision expands to society: when wickedness increases, sin multiplies, but the presence of the righteous produces stability. The chapter also warns against excessive trust in servants or subordinates without proper formation.

Rute und Strafe gibt Weisheit; aber ein Knabe, sich selbst überlassen, macht seiner Mutter Schande.
La vara y la corrección dan sabiduría: Mas el muchacho consentido avergonzará a su madre.
La vara y la corrección dan sabiduría, pero el muchacho dejado a sí mismo avergüenza a su madre.
La verge et la correction donnent la sagesse, Mais l'enfant livré à lui-même fait honte à sa mère.
La verga e la correzione dànno sapienza; Ma il fanciullo lasciato in abbandono fa vergogna a sua madre
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria, mas a criança entregue a si mesma, envergonha a sua mãe.
杖打和責備能增加智慧; 任性的少年使母親羞愧。
