The Father’s Discipline

(A)You have not yet resisted [a](B)to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin. And you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,

(C)My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the [b]Lord,
Nor (D)faint when you are reproved by Him;
(E)For those (F)whom the [c]Lord loves He disciplines,
And He flogs every son whom He receives.”

[a]My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord,
Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
