Proverbs 3:11

English Standard Version 2016

My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of his reproof,

See the chapter Copy

“Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves; therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty.

Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law,

But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.

Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.

But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed.

Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God disciplines you.
