Proverbs 3:11

God's Word

Do not reject the discipline of the Lord, my son, and do not resent his warning,

See the chapter Copy

But trouble comes to you, and you’re impatient. It touches you, and you panic.

“Blessed is the person whom God corrects. That person should not despise discipline from the Almighty.

O Lord, blessed is the person whom you discipline and instruct from your teachings.

If you faint in a crisis, you are weak.

But when the Lord judges us, he disciplines us so that we won’t be condemned along with the rest of the world.

We don’t become discouraged, since God has given us this ministry through his mercy.

Learn this lesson by heart: The Lord your God was disciplining you as parents discipline their children.

Think about Jesus, who endured opposition from sinners, so that you don’t become tired and give up.

I correct and discipline everyone I love. Take this seriously, and change the way you think and act.
