And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.

Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:For I give you good doctrine; Forsake ye not my law.For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;

For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth, Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

as ye know how we dealt with each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging you, and testifying,

and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, even the fruit of righteousness.
