She is disobedient; ¹  she refuses correction. ²  She does not trust the Lord; she does not seek the advice of ³  her God.

Whether it is for punishment ¹  for his land, or whether it is for mercy, he causes it to find its mark. ² 

The one who loves discipline loves knowledge, ¹  but the one who hates reproof is stupid. ² 

A fool rejects his father’s discipline, but whoever heeds reproof shows good sense. ¹ 

“It did no good for me to punish your people. They did not respond to such correction. You slaughtered your prophets like a voracious lion.” ¹ 

So tell them: ‘This is a nation that has not obeyed the Lord their God and has not accepted correction. Faithfulness is nowhere to be found in it. These people do not even profess it anymore. ¹ 

Every scripture ¹  is inspired by God ²  and useful for teaching, for reproof, ³  for correction, and for training in righteousness,

The one who heeds instruction ¹  is on the way to ²  life, but the one who rejects ³  rebuke goes astray.

Severe discipline ¹  is for the one who abandons the way; the one who hates reproof ²  will die.

The one who refuses correction despises himself, ¹  but whoever hears ²  reproof acquires understanding. ³ 

My child, do not despise discipline from the Lord, ¹  and do not loathe ²  his rebuke.

The one who neglects ¹  discipline ends up in ²  poverty and shame, but the one who accepts reproof is honored. ³ 

I thought, ¹  ‘Certainly you will respect ²  me! Now you will accept correction!’ If she had done so, her home ³  would not be destroyed ⁴  by all the punishments I have threatened. ⁵  But they eagerly sinned in everything they did. ⁶ 

And he reveals ¹  this ²  for correction, and says that they must turn ³  from evil.

And you will say, “How I hated discipline! My heart spurned reproof!

Listen to advice ¹  and receive discipline, that ²  you may become wise ³  by the end of your life. ⁴ 

Lord, I know you look for faithfulness. ¹  But even when you punish these people, they feel no remorse. ²  Even when you nearly destroy them, they refuse to be corrected. They have become as hardheaded as a rock. ³  They refuse to change their ways. ⁴ 

Suddenly he went ¹  after her like an ox that goes to the slaughter, like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare ² 

Folly is bound up ¹  in the heart of a child, ²  but the rod of discipline ³  will drive it far from him.

Do not withhold discipline from a child; even if you strike him with the rod, he will not die.
