Prov 3:12 in context

Prov 3:11      Prov 3:13

Proverbs 3:12

For the Lord (Yahweh) loves (has affection for; shows affection; cares for)
whom he disciplines (corrects, punishes; convinces) [by presenting a just judgment],
just as a father [reasonably disciplines] the son he loves (delights in; is pleased with).
[In Heb. 12:5–6, these two verses are quoted to show how suffering in the service of God is proof of sonship—that God cares and that God is a good Father. The expression originally appears in Job 5:17. The Hebrew words for rebuke tochachat in verse 11 and jachach in verse 12 are used in law to present evidence and refute someone, see Prov 22:6. In the latter, there is also the meaning of punishing. The context here, and the fact that Job was physically afflicted, makes it likely that this refers to some form of physical chastisement. The Greek translation Septuagint chooses the stronger word beat, which describes a harsh punishment. It also interprets the underlying Hebrew in the last stanza slightly differently.]
