י Yod
28 Let him sit alone and be silent,(E)
for God has disciplined him.
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust(F)—
perhaps there is still hope.
30 Let him offer his cheek
to the one who would strike him;(G)
let him be filled with shame.
Proverbs 22:6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 Teach a youth about the way he should go;(A)
even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Hebrews 12:5-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons:
My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly
or faint when you are reproved by Him,
6 for the Lord disciplines the one He loves
and punishes every son He receives.(A)[a]
7 Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline—which all[b] receive[c]—then you are illegitimate children and not sons.(B)
