'Chastisement' in the Bible

Are You not from everlasting,O Lord, my God, My Holy One?We will not die.O Lord, You have appointed the Chaldeans [who rule in Babylon] to execute [Your] judgment,And You, O Rock, have established them to correct and chastise.

Your bow was made bare,The rods of chastisement were sworn. Selah.You cleaved the earth with rivers.
