Proverbs 3:11

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline or be weary of his reproof,

See the chapter Copy

“Behold, happy is the man whom God reproves; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty.

Those whom I love, I reprove and chasten; so be zealous and repent.

Blessed is the man whom thou dost chasten, O Lord, and whom thou dost teach out of thy law

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

Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.

Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

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

But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed.

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