Exegesis
The particle lo {לֹא | lōʾ} negates yamut {יָמֽוּת | yā-mūṯ} ‘he will die’, creating a parallel between the prohibition and its reassuring outcome. This chiastic structure underscores that appropriate correction does not bring death but fosters discipline.
In context — Proverbs 23:13
Do not withhold discipline from a youth; for if you strike him with the rod , he will not die.
