Like as a father H1 pities H7355 his children, H1121 so the LORD H3068 pities H7355 them that fear H3373 him.

For whom H853 H834 the LORD H3068 loves H157 he corrects; H3198 even as a father H1 the son H1121 in whom he delights. H7521

Hear, H8085 you children, H1121 the instruction H4148 of a father, H1 and attend H7181 to know H3045 understanding. H998

For I was my father's H1 son, H1121 tender and only H3173 beloved in the sight H6440 of my mother. H517

And, you fathers, G3962 provoke G3949 not your G5216 children G5043 to wrath: G3949 but bring G1625 them up in the nurture G3809 and admonition G3559 of the Lord. G2962

As you know G1492 how G5613 we exhorted and comforted G3888 and charged G3143 every G1538 one G1520 of you, as a father G3962 does his children, G5043

And you have forgotten G1585 the exhortation G3874 which G3748 speaks G1256 to you as to children, G5207 My son, G5207 despise G3643 not you the chastening G3809 of the Lord, G2962 nor G3366 faint G1590 when you are rebuked G1651 of him:

If G1487 you endure G5278 chastening, G3809 God G2316 deals G4374 with you as with sons; G5207 for what G5101 son G5207 is he whom G3739 the father G3962 chastens G3811 not?

Furthermore G1534 we have G2192 had G2192 fathers G3962 of our flesh G4561 which corrected G3810 us, and we gave G1788 them reverence: G1788 shall we not much G4183 rather G3123 be in subjection G5293 to the Father G3962 of spirits, G4151 and live? G2198

Now G1161 no G3956 G3756 chastening G3809 for the present G3918 seems G1380 to be joyous, G5479 but grievous: G3077 nevertheless G1161 afterward G5305 it yields G591 the peaceable G1516 fruit G2590 of righteousness G1343 to them which are exercised G1128 thereby. G1223 G846
