Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, And teachest him out of thy law;
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou 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 thy statutes.
Before I was afflicted I went astray: But now have I kept thy word.
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
