Thematic Bible: Chastisement, a mark of the father's love


Thematic Bible




My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof: For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.


He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;


O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure: not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
