12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,

as a father the son he delights in.

12 for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,

as a father the son in whom he delights.

12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

12 For the Lord corrects those he loves,

just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.

12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects,

Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

12 The Lord corrects those he loves,

just as parents correct the child they delight in.

12 For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth;

Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

12 for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

12 because the Lord warns the one he loves, 

even as a father warns a son with whom he is pleased. 

12 for the Lord reproves the one he loves,

as a father the son in whom he delights.

12 because whomever Yahweh will love, he will rebuke,

as a father delights in his son.

12 The Lord trains those he loves.

He is like a father who trains the son he is pleased with.

12 For whom the Lord loves He reproves,

Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.
