Proverbs 17:10

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.

The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law,

When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom. When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”

and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored.

A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.

The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.

“They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don’t feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I can find another.”

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

O Yahweh, don’t your eyes look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.

“I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned; for you are Yahweh my God.

He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare among you;

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you.

All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.

In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great: yet in his disease he didn’t seek Yahweh, but just the physicians.

“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

Yahweh, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;

for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.

Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.

Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.

Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says Yahweh; “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”

Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.

Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.

Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it,

Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.

There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.

Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.

When Yahweh’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.

Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to my counsel.”

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.

A wise son listens to his father’s instruction, but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.

A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.

Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established.

Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.

A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the back of fools!

Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.

A servant can’t be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond.

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools.

They will come with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. Ephraim is my firstborn.

Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.”

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
