Proverbs 3:11

American Standard Version (1901)

My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:

See the chapter Copy

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:

For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls.

If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.

But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee.
