and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, *My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
I have surely heard Efrayim bemoaning himself [thus], You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf unaccustomed [to the yoke]: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.
Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
