Commentaire sur Les Proverbes 29:19
בִּ֭דְבָרִים לֹא־יִוָּ֣סֶר עָ֑בֶד כִּֽי־יָ֝בִ֗ין וְאֵ֣ין מַעֲנֶֽה׃
Ce n’est pas avec des paroles qu’on corrige l’esclave: s’il les comprend, il n’en tient pas compte.
Rashi on Proverbs
because he will understand, but without response As soon as he sees him (sic) that the one who was reproving him is silent, he reverts to his sins; therefore, one must chastise him with blows and punishments. He does not speak of an actual slave, but about all who disobey the words of the judges.
