Proverbs 23:13 meaning and explanation
Do not withhold discipline from a child; although you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
Proverbs 23:13, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
These verses continue a father's instruction to his son, moving from warnings about wealth and stingy hosts to the training of children. The rod here is the language of correction, not cruelty: the point is that loving discipline is better than neglect, and that a child who is corrected will not be destroyed by it.
