Proverbes 29:17 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 29:17

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest
Ease of mind, satisfaction and contentment, freedom from all anxious thoughts and cares; the correction being taken in good part, and succeeding according to wish and design; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul;
by his tenderness to his parents, obedience to them, and respect for them; by his prudent behaviour among men; by his sobriety, diligence, and industry in his calling; by his fear of God, and walking in his ways; than which nothing can give a greater delight and pleasure to religious parents.

Proverbes 29:17 In-Context

15 La verge et la répréhension donnent la sagesse; mais l'enfant livré à lui-même fait honte à sa mère.
16 Quand les méchants sont les plus nombreux, les crimes se multiplient; mais les justes verront leur ruine.
17 Corrige ton enfant, et il te donnera du repos, et il fera la joie de ton âme.
18 Lorsqu'il n'y a point de vision, le peuple est sans frein; mais heureux est celui qui garde la loi!
19 Ce n'est pas par des paroles qu'on corrige un esclave; car il entend bien, mais ne répond pas.
