¹¹ My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, Neither be weary of his reproof:

¹⁷ "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

⁵ and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by him;

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

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.

⁹ Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

¹⁰ For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

¹¹ All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.

¹² Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,

³² But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

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

³ For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don't grow weary, fainting in your souls.

¹⁶ Therefore we don't faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

¹ Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don't faint.

³⁰ Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

³¹ but those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.

¹⁰ If you falter in the time of trouble, Your strength is small.

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

⁵ But now it is come to you, and you faint; It touches you, and you are troubled.
