³² Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.

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.

¹¹ At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

¹⁴ I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;

³¹ But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

³² But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

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.

¹¹ My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training:

¹² For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.

³⁴ Let him take away his rod from me and not send his fear on me:

³⁹ (So that I may send trouble for this on the seed of David, but not for ever.)

³¹ And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten of the parts, for this is what the Lord has said: See, I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force, and will give ten tribes to you;

¹⁴ So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

⁶ And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.

³⁴ But now, go, take the people into that place of which I have given you word; see, my angel will go before you: but when the time of my judging has come, I will send punishment on them for their sin.
