Hebrews 12:5-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as children—
“My child, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord
or lose heart when you are punished by him,(A)
6 for the Lord disciplines those whom he loves
and chastises every child whom he accepts.”(B)
7 Endure trials for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as children, for what child is there whom a parent does not discipline?(C) 8 If you do not have that discipline in which all children share, then you are illegitimate and not his children.(D) 9 Moreover, we had human parents to discipline us, and we respected them. Should we not be even more willing to 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, in order that we may share his holiness.(E) 11 Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.(F)

Job 33:18-30
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 to spare their souls from the Pit,
their lives from traversing the River.
19 They are also chastened with pain upon their beds
and with continual strife in their bones,(A)
20 so that their lives loathe bread
and their appetites dainty food.(B)
21 Their flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and their bones, once invisible, now stick out.(C)
22 Their souls draw near the Pit
and their lives to those who bring death.(D)
23 Then, if there should be for one of them an angel,
a mediator, one of a thousand,
one who declares a person upright,(E)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the Pit;
I have found a ransom;(F)
25 let his flesh become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor,’(G)
26 then he prays to God and is accepted by him;
he comes into his presence with joy,
and God[a] repays him for his righteousness.(H)
27 That person sings to others and says,
‘I sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not paid back to me.(I)
28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,
and my life shall see the light.’(J)
29 “God indeed does all these things,
twice, three times, with mortals,(K)
30 to bring back their souls from the Pit,
so that they may see the light of life.[b](L)
