Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son,
and do not loathe His discipline;

See how happy the man is God corrects;
so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.

But now that this has happened to you,
you have become exhausted.
It strikes you, and you are dismayed.

Lord, happy is the man You discipline
and teach from Your law

If you do nothing in a difficult time,
your strength is limited.

Youths may faint and grow weary,
and young men stumble and fall,

but when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we may not be condemned with the world.

Therefore, since we have this ministry because we were shown mercy, we do not give up.

Therefore we do not give up. Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and lose heart.

And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons:

My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly
or faint when you are reproved by Him,

As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be committed and repent.

to account with the rod,
their sin with blows.
