Exegesis
The verse employs a pair of Qal participles ohev {אֹהֵב | ʾō-heḇ} ‘loving’ and ve-soné {וְשֹׂנֵא | wə-śō-nēʾ} ‘hating’ to frame an antithetical parallelism typical of Hebrew wisdom poetry.
In context — Proverbs 12:1
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is senseless .
