O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath!For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me.There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.

if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments,then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes,but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness.I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.

Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.And the people came to Moses and said,“ We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.And the Lord said to Moses,“ Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole.

And he cried to the man of God who came from Judah,“ Thus says the Lord,‘ Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not kept the command that the Lord your God commanded you,but have come back and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you,“ Eat no bread and drink no water,” your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”And after he had eaten bread and drunk, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.And as he went away a lion met him on the road and killed him.

Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the Lord, the child who is born to you shall die.”Then Nathan went to his house. And the Lord afflicted the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he became sick.David therefore sought God on behalf of the child. And David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground.And the elders of his house stood beside him, to raise him from the ground, but he would not, nor did he eat food with them.On the seventh day the child died.

How then can we say to him the child is dead? He may do himself some harm.”

And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?“ My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him.For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
