Selah · Bible verse
Proverbs 3:12
for whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
In context
10so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his reproof:
12for whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
13Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
14For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
