Proverbes 23:14 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 23:14

Thou shall beat him with the rod
Or, correct him with the stripes of the children of men, in a moderate and suitable manner, proportionable to the fault committed; and as he is able to bear it, both as to body and mind; and shalt deliver his soul from hell;
be a means of preventing those sins which would bring to hell and destruction; and of bringing to repentance for those committed; and so of saving his soul, which should be the chief thing parents should have in view in chastising their children; the salvation of whose souls should be dear unto them, as it is to all truly gracious and thoughtful ones.

13 N'épargne pas la correction à l'enfant; Si tu le frappes de la verge, il ne mourra point.

14 En le frappant de la verge, Tu délivres son âme du séjour des morts.

15 Mon fils, si ton coeur est sage, Mon coeur à moi sera dans la joie;

16 Mes entrailles seront émues d'allégresse, Quand tes lèvres diront ce qui est droit.
