¹⁴ Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

²⁴ For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

⁵ Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

⁶ For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

¹¹ My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:

¹² For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

¹² Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;

³¹ If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

³² Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

³³ Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

⁷ Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
