Proverbs 3:11-12

11 aMy son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
 12for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
as ba father the son in whom he delights.

Hebrews 12:5-10

5And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

c“My son, ddo not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
 6For ethe Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
 7It is for discipline that you have to endure. fGod is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8If you are left without discipline, gin which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to hthe Father of spirits iand live? 10For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, jthat we may share his holiness.
