Proverbs 29:15 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Left to himself - The condition of one who has been pampered and indulged. The mother who yields weakly is as guilty of abandoning the child she spoils, as if she cast him forth; and for her evil neglect, there shall fall upon her the righteous punishment of shame and ignominy.

Proverbs 29:15

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