You will be righteous, LORD, even if I bring a case against you. Yet, I wish to contend with you: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the treacherous live at ease?You planted them, and they have taken root. They have grown and produced fruit. You are ever on their lips, but far from their conscience.
Do not despise the LORD’s instruction, my son, and do not loathe his discipline;for the LORD disciplines the one he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.
