Proverbs 3:11

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

“Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves,
So do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord,
And whom You teach out of Your law;

But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor

faint when you are reproved by Him;

Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.

If you are slack in the day of distress,
Your strength is limited.

“But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
It touches you, and you are dismayed.

Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,

For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary

and lose heart.

Then I will punish their transgression with the rod
And their iniquity with stripes.
