Exegesis
The prepositional phrase betochachto {בְּתוֹכַחְתּֽוֹ | bə-to-ḵaḥ-to} ‘in his reproof’ ties the corrective action directly to the LORD’s deliberate instruction. The double negative construction underscores the emphatic repudiation of resistance to training.
In context — Proverbs 3:11
My son, do not treat lightly the discipline of the LORD , and do not grow tired of His rebuke.
