"For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives." 7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
Job 5: 17, 18
Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. 18 For He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds, and His hands also heal.
Ecc 8: 11
Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.
Prov 15: 32
He who neglects discipline despises himself, but he who listens to reproof acquires understanding.
Prov 27: 5
Better is open rebuke than love that is concealed.
Prov 22: 15
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline will remove it far from him.
Prov 16: 6
By lovingkindness and truth iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one keeps away from evil.
Heb 12: 9 - 11
Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. 11 All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
