For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are 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 instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
Prov 27: 5
Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Prov 22: 15
Foolishness is bound 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 purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
Heb 12: 9 - 11
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
