⁶ For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

¹² For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

⁷⁵ I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

¹ Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

² Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.

³ When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.

⁴ For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture was changed `as' with the drought of summer. Selah

⁵ I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah

²⁴ He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

¹⁴ 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;

¹¹ Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

¹² Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which `the Lord' promised to them that love him.

⁷ It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom `his' father chasteneth not?

⁸ But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

²⁴ O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure: not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

⁷¹ It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.

¹² Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;

³⁰ If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;

³¹ If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments;

³² Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.

³³ But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴ My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

¹⁴ For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.

¹⁵ If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

⁵ And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee.

⁹ Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, `so that' the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
