Lord, those you correct are happy; you teach them from your law.
“The one whom God corrects is happy, so do not hate being corrected by the Almighty.
But when the Lord judges us, he disciplines us so that we will not be destroyed along with the world.
“I correct and punish those whom I love. So be eager to do right, and change your hearts and lives.
It was good for me to suffer so I would learn your demands.
Before I suffered, I did wrong, but now I obey your word.
Know in your heart that the Lord your God corrects you as a parent corrects a child.
The voice of the Lord calls to the city, and the wise person honors him. So pay attention to the rod of punishment; pay attention to the One who threatens to punish.
