Psalms 94:12-13

12 aBlessed is the man whom you bdiscipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
 13to give him crest from ddays of trouble,
until ea pit is dug for the wicked.

Hebrews 12:5-11

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

f“My son, gdo not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
 6For hthe Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
 7It is for discipline that you have to endure. iGod is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8If you are left without discipline, jin 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 kthe Father of spirits land live? 10For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, mthat we may share his holiness. 11 nFor the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields othe peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
