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?

¹⁸ Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; nd set not thy heart on his destruction.

¹⁵ The rod and reproof give wisdom; But a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.

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

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

¹⁷ Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; Yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.

¹³ Withhold not correction from the child; `For' if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.

¹⁴ Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

³¹ For hath any said unto God, I have borne `chastisement', I will not offend `any more':

³² That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?

²⁴ Now therefore as Jehovah liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

²⁵ And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.

⁶ And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he was also a very goodly man; and he was born after Absalom.

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;

¹³ For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not.

³⁴ And this shall be the sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.

²⁹ Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in `my' habitation, and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; `But' the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
