Exegesis
The prohibitive particle al combines with the Qal imperfect verbs al-tim'as {אַל־תִּמְאָ֑ס | al-tim-ʼās} and ve-al-takotz {וְאַל־תָּ֝קֹץ | wə-ʼal tā-qōṣ}, forming synonymous parallelism that intensifies the warning against despising or becoming weary of divine rebuke.
In context — Proverbs 3:11
My son, do not treat lightly the discipline of the LORD , and do not grow tired of His rebuke.
