Proverbs 3:11-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 The discipline of the Lord, my son, do not spurn;(A)
do not disdain his reproof;
12 [a]For whom the Lord loves he reproves,
as a father, the son he favors.(B)
Footnotes
- 3:12 One might be tempted to judge the quality of one’s relationship to God by one’s prosperity. It is an inadequate criterion, for God as a teacher might go counter to student expectations. The discipline of God can involve suffering.
