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

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

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.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

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

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

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

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

But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
