Exegesis
The verse begins with the participle chosekh {חוֹשֵׂךְ | ḥô-šêḵ} “withholding,” forming a verbless clause with shivto {שִׁבְטוֹ | šiv-tô} “his rod” to imply refusal of correction.
In context — Proverbs 13:24
Whoever withholds his rod hates his son, but whoever loves him earnestly seeks discipline .
