for all the day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning.
And have ye forgotten the exhortation that reasons with you as with sons, My son, do not disparage the chastening of Lord, nor become disheartened when punished by him?
Blessed is the man whom thou chasten, O LORD, and teach out of thy law,
In which ye greatly rejoice, although made sorrowful in various trials. Since it is now necessary for a little while,
You only I have known of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will thou indeed be to me as a deceitful [brook], as waters that fail?
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but LORD delivers him out of them all.
Thou renew thy witnesses against me, and increase thine indignation upon me. Changes and warfare are with me.
Is it good to thee that thou should oppress, that thou should despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
and that thou should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
