Lamentations 3:39-42
39 aWhy should a living man complain,a man, about the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us test and examine our ways,
band return to the Lord!
41 cLet us lift up our hearts and hands
to God in heaven:
42 d“We have transgressed and erebelled,
and you have not forgiven.
Luke 15:18-19
18I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, fI have sinned against gheaven and before you. 19 hI am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’Hebrews 12:6-7
6For ithe Lord disciplines the one he loves,and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7It is for discipline that you have to endure. jGod is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
