Thematic Bible: Of correction


Thematic Bible




A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,
And a rod for the backs of fools [who refuse to learn].




On the lips of the discerning, [skillful and godly] wisdom is found,
But discipline and the rod are for the back of the one who is without common sense and understanding.



Then I will punish their transgression with the rod [of discipline],
And [correct] their wickedness with stripes.


You shall swat him with the reed-like rod
And rescue his life from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

I am [Jeremiah] the man who has seen affliction
Because of the rod of His wrath.
