Proverbs 3:12

American Standard Version (1901)

For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth, Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

See the chapter Copy

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

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

Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

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