Proverbs 3:11

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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

See the chapter Copy

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

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

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, And teachest him out of thy law;

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;

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

If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.

But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
