I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:

And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

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

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 him out of thy law;

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

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

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

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