Whom the Lord loveth he correcteth.
[Prov.3:12]
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. ■ I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. ■ My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
[Deut.32:39 | Jer.29:11 | Isa.55:8]
I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. ■ As a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. ■ Now no chastening for the present, seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. ■ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
[Hos.2:14 | Deut.8:5 | Heb.12:11 | I Pet.5:6]
I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
[Psa.119:75]
