Heavenly father
give us grace to learn from our mistakes, and accept correction so that our lives may blossom with the peaceful fruit of righteousness
5 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;
6for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure.
God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect.
Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them;
but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous;
yet afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
13 and make straight paths for your feet,
so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
