Exegesis
The Hebrew sentence begins with the Piel imperative yassēr {יַסֵּ֣ר | yassēr} ‘discipline’, followed by two vav-consecutive imperfect clauses: wīniḥēkā {וִֽינִיחֶ֑ךָ | wīniḥēkā} ‘and he will give you rest’ (Hiphil imperfect) and wəyittēn {וְיִתֵּ֖ן | wəyittēn} ‘and he will give’ (Qal imperfect).
In context — Proverbs 29:17
Discipline your son, and he will give you rest ; and he will give delights to your soul.
