For whom the LORD loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Like as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, And teachest out of thy law;
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; Yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
And thou shalt consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
