Proverbs 3:11

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; Neither be weary of his reproof:

See the chapter Copy

But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, And teachest out of thy law;

If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.

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

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:

And thou shalt consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against themselves, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls.

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
