Psalm 94:12

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

Lord, great blessings belong to those you discipline, to those you teach from your law.

See the chapter Copy

“You are fortunate when God corrects you. So don’t complain when God All-Powerful punishes you.

But when the Lord judges us, he punishes us to show us the right way. He does this so that we will not be condemned with the world.

“I correct and punish the people I love. So show that nothing is more important to you than living right. Change your hearts and lives.

Suffering was good for me; I learned your laws.

Before I suffered, I did many wrong things. But now I carefully obey everything you say.

You must remember that the Lord your God teaches and corrects you as a father teaches and corrects his son.

The Lord shouts to the city: “A wise person respects the Lord’s name. So pay attention to the punishing rod and to the one who uses it!
