Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
He that rebuketh a man, afterward shall find more favor than he that flattereth with the tongue.
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
