Psalms 73:5

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

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.

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

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.

Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

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

They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They don’t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don’t defend the rights of the needy.

“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?

are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

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;

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

Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;

Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

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.

Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.

Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

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

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

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.”

My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.

They will also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror will cover them. Shame will be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.

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

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

Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

“Go and speak to David, ‘Yahweh says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.” ’ ”

A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.

Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.

When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.

Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, you consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath.”

Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.

How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.

I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed.

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.

He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.

My flesh trembles for fear of you. I am afraid of your judgments.

There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: whoever hates reproof shall die.

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

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.

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

Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.

Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherah poles and the incense altars shall rise no more.

Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live.

“I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

You shall tell them, ‘This is the nation that has not listened to Yahweh their God’s voice, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’

Yahweh, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.

For I am with you, says Yahweh, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered 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.”

I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in Yahweh. She didn’t draw near to her God.

His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will eat me up.”

Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

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

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed;

For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

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

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

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