²² But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.

²⁵ Let me go over, O Lord, and see the good land on the other side of Jordan, and that fair mountain country, even Lebanon.

²⁷ Go up to the top of Pisgah, and turning your eyes to the west and the north, to the south and the east, see the land with your eyes: for you are not to go over Jordan.

⁶ For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod.

⁷ It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?

⁸ But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.

⁹ And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?

¹⁰ For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

¹³ And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;

¹⁴ For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

¹⁵ And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.

²¹ And crying out to the man of God who came from Judah, he said, The Lord says, Because you have gone against the voice of the Lord, and have not done as you were ordered by the Lord,

²² But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers.

² You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.
