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.

Proverbes 23:14 In-Context

12 Applique ton cœur à l'instruction, et tes oreilles aux paroles de la science.

13 N'épargne point la correction au jeune enfant; quand tu l'auras frappé de la verge, il n'en mourra pas.

14 En le frappant de la verge, tu délivreras son âme du Sépulcre

15 Mon fils, si ton cœur est sage, mon cœur s'en réjouira; oui, moi-même je m'en réjouirai;

16 Et mes reins tressailliront de joie, quand tes lèvres parleront avec droiture.
