Contradiction with Proverbs 13:24
While Proverbs 13:24 advises sparing the rod for hate, it promotes correction like Proverbs 29:17, but implies lack of correction equates to hate, highlighting a moral contradiction.
Proverbs 13:24: He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Contradiction with Ephesians 6:4
This verse advises fathers not to provoke children to wrath, which can be seen as contradictory to correction that might incite anger, contrasting with Proverbs 29:17's promise of rest and delight.
Ephesians 6:4: And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Contradiction with Colossians 3:21
It warns fathers not to embitter their children, potentially conflicting with the notion in Proverbs 29:17 that correction leads to delight and rest without negative effects.
Colossians 3:21: Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.
Contradiction with Hebrews 12:11
This states chastening isn't joyous but grievous, suggesting a temporary contradiction to delight promised in Proverbs 29:17 unless viewed in the long term.
Hebrews 12:11: Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
Advises turning the other cheek instead of correction, contrasting with the directive in Proverbs 29:17 for correcting a son.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
