Proverbs 3:12

For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.

Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.

As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.

He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.

Give your son training, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your soul.

To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.
