Proverbs 3:11

New King James Version

My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction;

See the chapter Copy

“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law,

But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.

But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; It touches you, and you are troubled.

You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the Lord your God chastens you.
