Proverbs 3:11

New American Bible - revised edition

The discipline of the Lord, my son, do not spurn; do not disdain his reproof;

See the chapter Copy

But now that it comes to you, you are impatient; when it touches you, you are dismayed.

Happy the one whom God reproves! The Almighty’s discipline do not reject.

Blessed the one whom you guide, Lord, whom you teach by your instruction,

Did you fail in a day of adversity, did your strength fall short?

but since we are judged by [the] Lord, we are being disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

Therefore, since we have this ministry through the mercy shown us, we are not discouraged.

So you must know in your heart that, even as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord, your God, disciplines you.

Consider how he endured such opposition from sinners, in order that you may not grow weary and lose heart.

Those whom I love, I reprove and chastise. Be earnest, therefore, and repent.
