Psalm 119:71
Legacy Standard Bible
71 It is (A)good for me that I was afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
Psalm 119:75
Legacy Standard Bible
75 I know, O Yahweh, that Your judgments are (A)righteous,
And that (B)in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
Jeremiah 31:18-19
Legacy Standard Bible
18 I have surely heard Ephraim (A)grieving,
‘You have (B)chastised me, and I was chastised,
Like an untrained (C)calf;
(D)Cause me to return that I may return,
For You are Yahweh my God.
19 For after I turned away, I (E)repented;
And after I was instructed, I (F)slapped my thigh;
I was (G)ashamed and also dishonored
Because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
Hebrews 12:5-11
Legacy Standard Bible
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“(A)My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the [a]Lord,
Nor (B)faint when you are reproved by Him;
6 (C)For those (D)whom the [b]Lord loves He disciplines,
And He flogs every son whom He receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure; (E)God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, (F)of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we [c]had [d]earthly fathers to discipline us, and we (G)respected them. Shall we not much rather be subject to (H)the Father of [e]spirits, and (I)live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our benefit, (J)so that we may share His holiness. 11 And all discipline (K)for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful, but to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the (L)peaceful fruit of righteousness.
