Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.
Before I was afflicted I went astray; But now I observe thy word.
And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee.
The voice of Jehovah crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom will see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
