Exegesis
The second clause et-ben yirtzeh {אֶת־בֵּן יִרְצֶה | ʾet-bēn yir-ṣeh} mirrors the first, with yirtzeh ‘he delights in’ expressing active pleasure. English rendering preserves the chiastic parallelism between divine and paternal discipline.
In context — Proverbs 3:12
For the LORD reproves the one He loves, as a father does the son he delights in.
