As a father compassionating over his sons, Jehovah compassionated those fearing him.
Happy the man whom thou shalt chastise, O Jah: and thou wilt teach him from thy laws.
He withholding his rod hates his son: and he loving him, sought correction for him.
Correct thy son and he shall cause thee to rest, and he shall give delight to thy soul.
And know thou with thy heart that as a man will chastise his son, Jehovah thy God chastises thee.
For whom the Lord loves he corrects, and he chastises every son which he receives.
I, if as many as I love, I rebuke and correct: be emulous therefore, and repent.
