Hebrews 12:5-11
And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly or faint when you are reproved by Him,for the Lord disciplines the one He loves and punishes every son He receives.Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?But if you are without discipline— which all receive— then you are illegitimate children and not sons.Furthermore, we had natural fathers discipline us, and we respected them. Shouldn’t we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live?For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but He does it for our benefit, so that we can share His holiness.No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the fruit of peace and righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Job 33:16-25
He uncovers their ears at that time and terrifies them with warnings,in order to turn a person from his actions and suppress his pride.God spares his soul from the Pit, his life from crossing the river of death.A person may be disciplined on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,so that he detests bread, and his soul despises his favorite food.His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his unseen bones stick out.He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the executioners.If there is an angel on his side, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what is right for himand to be gracious to him and say,“ Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found a ransom,”then his flesh will be healthier than in his youth, and he will return to the days of his youthful vigor.
