Exegesis
The adversative ve-ohavo {וְאֹהֲב֗וֹ | wə-’ō-ḥă-ḇō} “but he who loves him” introduces the positive duty, which the Piel imperfect shikharo {שִֽׁחֲר֥וֹ | ši-ḥă-rō} “seeks him early” underscores through its iterative nuance.
In context — Proverbs 13:24
Whoever withholds his rod hates his son, but whoever loves him earnestly seeks discipline .
