Whom

Learn this lesson by heart: Jehovah your God disciplined you like parents discipline their children.

([Psalm of David]) Blessed is the person whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is pardoned.

I have been plagued all day long, and chastened every morning.

If his descendants abandon my law and do not live by my rules,

It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

For whom Jehovah loves He reproves, just like a father corrects the son he loves dearly. (Hebrews 12:6)

He who spares the rod (authority) hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines (instructs) him promptly.

By this Jacob's guilt will be atoned for, and this will be the full fruitage of the removal of his sin. When he makes all the altar stones to be like chalk stones crushed to pieces, no Asherah poles or incense altars will be left standing.

Correct me, O Jehovah but please be fair. Do not correct me when you are angry. Otherwise, you will reduce me to nothing.

The man who endures under trial is blessed. For when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life that God promised to those who love him.

As you know, those who have endured are called blessed. You have heard of the patience (perseverance) (endurance) of Job, and have seen the outcome Jehovah provided, how he was very tender with his affection and mercy. (Psalm 103:8)

I reprove and discipline those whom I love: be zealous therefore, and repent.

And scourgeth

God deals with you like children. Endure discipline (instruction) (training). Who is the child whom a father does not discipline?

I will be his father. He will be my son. When he does wrong I will correct him just as parents correct children.

General references

I am going to die in this land. I will not cross the Jordan River. But you are going to go across and take possession of that good land.

then with a rod I will punish their transgression and their crimes with beatings.

He who spares the rod (authority) hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines (instructs) him promptly.

If you are without discipline, you are illegitimate children, and not sons.
