My son, do not reject the chastening of Jehovah, and do not loathe His chastisement;
But now it has come upon you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
Behold, blessed is the man whom God corrects; and despise not the chastening of the Almighty.
Blessed is the man You chasten, O Jehovah, You make him know out of Your Law;
Your strength will be narrow if you faint in the day of distress,
But being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we not be condemned with the world.
Because of this, having this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not fail in heart.
And you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, Jehovah your God disciplines you.
For consider Him who had endured such opposition of sinners against Himself, that you do not grow weary, being faint-hearted in your souls,
I, as many “as I love, I rebuke and I chasten.” Be zealous, then, and repent. Prov. 3:12
