Proverbs 3:12

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

See the chapter Copy

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

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

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; Yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Like as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

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