Someone might be punished by suffering in bed. The pain in their bones might never go away.

“ Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed and with continual strife in his bones,

“ Or God disciplines people with pain on their sickbeds, with ceaseless aching in their bones.

“ Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal.

Did the gods of the nations that were destroyed by my predecessors deliver them— the gods of Gozan, Harran, Rezeph and the people of Eden who were in Tel Assar?Where is the king of Hamath or the king of Arpad? Where are the kings of Lair, Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivvah?”

In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the Lord, but only from the physicians.

Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.

Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me.Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
