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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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