94:12 How blessed is the one 2 whom you instruct, O Lord,
the one whom you teach from your law,
94:13 in order to protect him from times of trouble, 3
until the wicked are destroyed. 4
94:14 Certainly 5 the Lord does not forsake his people;
he does not abandon the nation that belongs to him. 6
119:67 Before I was afflicted I used to stray off, 7
but now I keep your instructions. 8
119:71 It was good for me to suffer,
so that I might learn your statutes.
“My son, do not scorn 10 the Lord’s discipline
or give up when he corrects 11 you.
12:6 “For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.” 12
12:7 Endure your suffering 13 as discipline; 14 God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? 12:8 But if you do not experience discipline, 15 something all sons 16 have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons. 12:9 Besides, we have experienced discipline from 17 our earthly fathers 18 and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life? 19 12:10 For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.
