Proverbs 3:11

King James 2000

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

See the chapter Copy

But now it is come upon you, and you faint; it touches you, and you are troubled.

Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty:

Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;

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

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.

For consider him that endured such hostility of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your minds.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
