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

And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?

And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,

And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

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.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
