"Thus you are to knowin your heartthat the LORDyour Godwas discipliningyou justas a mandisciplineshis son.
Those whomI love,I reproveand discipline;thereforebe zealousand repent.
For whomthe LORDlovesHe reproves,Even as a father[corrects] the sonin whom he delights.
"I will be a fatherto him and he will be a sonto Me; whenhe commitsiniquity,I will correcthim with the rodof menand the strokesof the sonsof men,
But when we are judged,we are disciplinedby the Lordsothat we will not be condemnedalongwith the world.
Blessedis the manwhomYou chasten,O LORD,And whom You teachout of Your law;
"Because he consideredand turnedawayfrom allhis transgressionswhichhe had committed,he shall surelylive;he shall not die.
Then I will punishtheir transgressionwith the rodAnd their iniquitywith stripes.
"Onlygiveheedto yourself and keepyour souldiligently,sothat you do not forgetthe thingswhichyour eyeshave seenand they do not departfrom your heartallthe daysof your life;but makethem knownto your sonsand your grandsons.
"Therefore, sonof man,preparefor yourself baggagefor exileand gointo exileby dayin their sight;even gointo exilefrom your placeto anotherplacein their sight.Perhapsthey will understandthoughthey are a rebellioushouse.
"So watchyourselves, that you do not forgetthe covenantof the LORDyour GodwhichHe madewith you, and makefor yourselves a gravenimagein the formof anything[against] whichthe LORDyour Godhas commandedyou.
"An oxknowsits owner,And a donkeyits master'smanger,[But] Israeldoes not know,My peopledo not understand."
"Out of the heavensHe let you hearHis voiceto disciplineyou; and on earthHe let you seeHis greatfire,and you heardHis wordsfrom the midstof the fire.
"Therefore, you shall keepthe commandmentsof the LORDyour God,to walkin His waysand to fearHim.
He who withholdshis rodhateshis son,But he who loveshim disciplineshim diligently.
In the dayof prosperitybe happy,But in the dayof adversityconsider--Godhas madethe oneas wellas the otherSothat manwill not discoveranything[that will be] afterhim.
and in the wildernesswhereyou sawhowthe LORDyour Godcarriedyou, justas a mancarrieshis son,in allthe waywhichyou have walkeduntilyou cameto thisplace.'
My son,do not rejectthe disciplineof the LORDOr loatheHis reproof,
