He that spare his rod hates his son/ spare the rod and spoil the child
Who prevents a man from using punishment and force as a rod for his son, as if he hated him so much that he did not give him visible discipline ("Shabbet" means the rod of force or the rod of authority).
("He who hates his son, his tribe is darkened, and he who loves him, his darkness is removed" - Proverbs 13:28, and so: "Rabbi David, who had pity on his son, and his tribe was darkened from him, and caused him to arrive where he should have arrived" - H. Be'er/ Notzot, 50)
