Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty:
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn your statutes.
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept your word.
You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
The LORD'S voice cries unto the city, and wisdom shall see your name: Hear the rod, and who has appointed it.
