For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Job 5: 17, 18
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. 18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.
Ecc 8: 11
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Prov 15: 32
He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; but he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
Prov 27: 5
Better is open rebuke than love that is hidden.
Prov 22: 15
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Prov 16: 6
By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for; and by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil.
Heb 12: 9 - 11
Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. 11 All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, even the fruit of righteousness.
