And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

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

The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, {so} the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

Behold, happy {is} the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

For this cause many {are} weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

Blessed {is} the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

But thou shalt say unto them, This {is} a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. {correction: or, instruction}

Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne {chastisement}, I will not offend {any more}:

{And} we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. {from perishing: Heb. from passing}

She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. {correction: or, instruction}

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. {revolt...: Heb. increase revolt}

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. {guilty...: or, subject to the judgment of God}

{It is} good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Blessed {is} the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

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

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, {so} the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I {am} with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. {not leave...: or, not utterly cut thee off}

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. {damnation: or, judgment}

Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong {pain}:

And not as {it was} by one that sinned, {so is} the gift: for the judgment {was} by one to condemnation, but the free gift {is} of many offences unto justification.

O Lord, by these {things men} live, and in all these {things is} the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also {that is} born unto thee shall surely die.

They {are} not in trouble {as other} men; neither are they plagued like {other} men. {in...: Heb. in the trouble of other men} {like: Heb. with}

By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this {is} all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. {images: or, sun images}

For this cause many {are} weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

As unknown, and {yet} well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
