Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept your word.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn your statutes.
The LORD's voice cries to the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your name: hear you the rod, and who has appointed it.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
