He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 13 of Proverbs. The final section connects companionship, discipline, family justice, and satisfaction of needs. Walking with the wise transforms a companion, while associating with fools leads to harm. The correction of children appears within the logic of formation rather than arbitrary violence. The chapter ends by contrasting the provision of the righteous with the scarcity associated with a lack of diligence and discipline.

Wer seine Rute schont, der haßt seinen Sohn; wer ihn aber liebhat, der züchtigt ihn bald.
El que detiene el castigo, a su hijo aborrece: Mas el que lo ama, madruga a castigarlo.
Quien escatima la vara odia a su hijo, pero quien lo ama lo disciplina con diligencia.
Celui qui ménage sa verge hait son fils, Mais celui qui l'aime cherche à le corriger.
Chi risparmia la sua verga odia il suo figliuolo; Ma chi l’ama gli procura correzione per tempo
O que não faz uso da vara odeia seu filho, mas o que o ama, desde cedo o castiga.
不忍用杖打兒子的,是恨惡他; 疼愛兒子的,勤加管教。
