Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children,“ My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

But he answered,‘ Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law,that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.
