Proverbs 3:12

Contemporary English Version 1995

The Lord corrects everyone he loves, just as parents correct a child they dearly love.

See the chapter Copy

So keep in mind that the Lord has been correcting you, just as parents correct their children.

I correct and punish everyone I love. So make up your minds to turn away from your sins.

If you correct your children, they will bring you peace and happiness.

If you love your children, you will correct them; if you don't love them, you won't correct them.

Just as parents are kind to their children, the Lord is kind to all who worship him,

The Lord corrects the people he loves and disciplines those he calls his own.”

Our Lord, you bless everyone that you instruct and teach by using your Law.
