Proverbs 3:12
King James VersionSource notes
“For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son he delighteth.”
Context
9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son he delighteth.
13Happy the man findeth wisdom, and the man getteth understanding.
14For the merchandise of it better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15She more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
