for whom יהוה loves, He disciplines, and flogs every son whom He receives.”
“As many as I love, I reprove and discipline. So be ardent and repent.
For whom יהוה loves He reproves, As a father the son whom he delights in.
I know, O יהוה, That Your right-rulings are righteous, And in trustworthiness You have afflicted me.
He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him, seeks him with discipline.
Blessed is the man You discipline, O Yah, And instruct out of Your Torah,
“I am to be his Father, and he is My son. If he does perversely, I shall reprove him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.
O יהוה, chastise me, but with right-ruling – not in Your displeasure, lest You bring me to naught.
“Thus you shall know in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so יהוה your Elohim disciplines you,
Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him.
It was good for me that I was afflicted, That I might learn Your laws.
See, we call those blessed who endure. You have heard of the endurance of Iyoḇ
Therefore by this the crookedness of Yaʽ
My son, do not despise the discipline of יהוה, And do not loathe His reproof;
What? Should mankind complain, A living man, because of his sins?
