¹¹ Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof,

¹⁷ Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And the chastisement of the Mighty despise not,

⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,

⁶ for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'

⁷ if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?

⁸ and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.

⁹ Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising `us', and we were reverencing `them'; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?

¹⁰ for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;

¹¹ and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.

¹² Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up;

³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

¹⁹ `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous, then, and reform;

³ for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint.

¹⁶ wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

¹⁷ for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us --

¹ Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

³⁰ Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,

³¹ But those expecting Jehovah pass `to' power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

¹⁰ Thou hast shewed thyself weak in a day of adversity, Straitened is thy power,

¹² O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,

⁵ But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.
