Hebrews 12:5-11
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.

Job 33:18-30
God spares his soul from the Pit, his life from crossing the river of death.A person may be disciplined on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,so that he detests bread, and his soul despises his favorite food.His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his unseen bones stick out.He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the executioners.If there is an angel on his side, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what is right for himand to be gracious to him and say,“ Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found a ransom,”then his flesh will be healthier than in his youth, and he will return to the days of his youthful vigor.He will pray to God, and God will delight in him. That person will see his face with a shout of joy, and God will restore his righteousness to him.He will look at men and say,“ I have sinned and perverted what was right; yet I did not get what I deserved.He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will continue to see the light.”God certainly does all these things two or three times to a personin order to turn him back from the Pit, so he may shine with the light of life.
