As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be zealous and repent.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,“ Because you did not trust me to demonstrate my holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land I have given them.”

but when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined, so that we may not be condemned with the world.

He said,“ If you will carefully obey the LORD your God, do what is right in his sight, pay attention to his commands, and keep all his statutes, I will not inflict any illnesses on you that I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

“ Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land I have given the Israelites, because you both rebelled against my command at the Waters of Meribah.

Before they had turned from what they craved, while the food was still in their mouths,God’s anger flared up against them, and he killed some of their best men. He struck down Israel’s fit young men.

For David, after serving God’s purpose in his own generation, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and decayed,

LORD, do not punish me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has pressed down on me.There is no soundness in my body because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.For my iniquities have flooded over my head; they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness.I am bent over and brought very low; all day long I go around in mourning.For my insides are full of burning pain, and there is no soundness in my body.I am faint and severely crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.

if they dishonor my statutes and do not keep my commands,then I will call their rebellion to account with the rod, their iniquity with blows.But I will not withdraw my faithful love from him or betray my faithfulness.I will not violate my covenant or change what my lips have said.

Then the LORD sent poisonous snakes among the people, and they bit them so that many Israelites died.The people then came to Moses and said,“ We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Intercede with the LORD so that he will take the snakes away from us.” And Moses interceded for the people.Then the LORD said to Moses,“ Make a snake image and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will recover.”So Moses made a bronze snake and mounted it on a pole. Whenever someone was bitten, and he looked at the bronze snake, he recovered.

Listen, I am telling you a mystery: We will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed,

and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah,“ This is what the LORD says:‘ Because you rebelled against the LORD’s command and did not keep the command that the LORD your God commanded you—but you went back and ate food and drank water in the place that he said to you,“ Do not eat food and do not drink water”— your corpse will never reach the grave of your ancestors.’”So after he had eaten food and after he had drunk, the old prophet saddled the donkey for the prophet he had brought back.When he left, a lion attacked him along the way and killed him. His corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey was standing beside it; the lion was standing beside the corpse too.

I have known only you out of all the clans of the earth; therefore, I will punish you for all your iniquities.

However, because you treated the LORD with such contempt in this matter, the son born to you will die.”Then Nathan went home. The LORD struck the baby that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became deathly ill.David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted, went home, and spent the night lying on the ground.The elders of his house stood beside him to get him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything with them.On the seventh day the baby died. But David’s servants were afraid to tell him the baby was dead. They said,“ Look, while the baby was alive, we spoke to him, and he wouldn’t listen to us. So how can we tell him the baby is dead? He may do something desperate.”

And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly or lose heart when you are reproved by him,for the Lord disciplines the one he loves and punishes every son he receives.Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?But if you are without discipline— which all receive— then you are illegitimate children and not sons.Furthermore, we had human fathers discipline us, and we respected them. Shouldn’t we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live?For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but he does it for our benefit, so that we can share his holiness.No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
