Behold, happy is the man whom +God correcteth; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty.
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep thy word
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.
My son, despise not the instruction of Jehovah, neither be weary of his chastisement;
for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
But being judged, we are disciplined of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by him;
But no chastening at the time seems to be matter of joy, but of grief; but afterwards yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it.
