Proverbs 3:11

New International Version

My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke,

See the chapter Copy

But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed.

“Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord, the one you teach from your law;

If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!

Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.

Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.

Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
