Proverbs 3:12

American Standard Version 2015

For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth;\par\tab Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.\par

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;\par\tab Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

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

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

{\b For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,\par\tab And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.}

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