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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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