Proverbs 3:12

Good News Translation

The Lord corrects those he loves, as parents correct a child of whom they are proud.

See the chapter Copy

As a father is kind to his children, so the Lord is kind to those who honor him.

Lord, how happy are those you instruct, the ones to whom you teach your law!

If you don't punish your children, you don't love them. If you do love them, you will correct them.

Discipline your children and you can always be proud of them. They will never give you reason to be ashamed.

Remember that the Lord your God corrects and punishes you just as parents discipline their children.

Because the Lord corrects everyone he loves, and punishes everyone he accepts as a child.”

I rebuke and punish all whom I love. Be in earnest, then, and turn from your sins.
