⁶ For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, And scourges every son whom he receives."

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

¹² For whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; Even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

⁷⁵ Yahweh, I know that your judgments are righteous, That in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

¹ > Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.

² Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn't impute iniquity, In whose spirit there is no deceit.

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

⁴ For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.

⁵ I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn't hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, And you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

²⁴ One who spares the rod hates his son, But one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

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 who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

¹² Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

⁷ It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn't discipline?

⁸ But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.

²⁴ Yahweh, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.

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

¹² Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, And teach out of your law;

³⁰ If his children forsake my law, And don't walk in my ordinances;

³¹ If they break my statutes, And don't keep my commandments;

³² Then I will punish their sin with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.

³³ But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, Nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴ I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what my lips have uttered.

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

¹⁵ If I had said, "I will speak thus;" Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

⁵ You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you.

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