24 He that spareth H2820 his rod H7626 hateth H8130 his son: H1121 but he that loveth H157 him chasteneth H4148 him betimes. H7836
Withhold H4513 not correction H4148 from the child: H5288 for if thou beatest H5221 him with the rod, H7626 he shall not die. H4191 Thou shalt beat H5221 him with the rod, H7626 and shalt deliver H5337 his soul H5315 from hell. H7585
For G1063 whom G3739 the Lord G2962 loveth G25 he chasteneth, G3811 and G1161 scourgeth G3146 every G3956 son G5207 whom G3739 he receiveth. G3858 If G1487 ye endure G5278 chastening, G3809 God G2316 dealeth G4374 with you G5213 as G5613 with sons; G5207 for G1063 what G5101 son G5207 is he G2076 whom G3739 the father G3962 chasteneth G3811 not? G3756 But G1161 if G1487 ye be G2075 without G5565 chastisement, G3809 whereof G3739 all G3956 are G1096 partakers, G3353 then G686 are ye G2075 bastards, G3541 and G2532 not G3756 sons. G5207

We are apt to judge of men's blessedness, at least in this world, by their wealth, and that they are more or less happy accordingly as they have more or less of this world's goods; but Solomon here shows what a gross mistake it is, that we may be reconciled to a poor condition, and may neither covet riches ourselves nor envy those that have abundance.
