Proverbs 3:12

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

See the chapter Copy

As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him.

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

He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.

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

For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

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