Proverbs 3:12

King James 2000

For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.

See the chapter Copy

Like as a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.

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

He that spares his rod hates his son: but he that loves him chastens him early.

Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.

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

For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.

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