“Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves,
So do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord,
And whom You teach out of Your law;
That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity,
Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
It is good for me that I was afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His reproof,
For whom the Lord loves He reproves,
Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor faint when you are reproved by Him;
All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
