11 My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,

and do not resent his rebuke,

12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,

as a father the son he delights in.

11 My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline

or be weary of his reproof,

12 for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,

as a father the son in whom he delights.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord;

Neither be weary of his correction:

12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth;

Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

11 My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,

and don’t be upset when he corrects you.

12 For the Lord corrects those he loves,

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

11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,

Nor detest His correction;

12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects,

Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

11 My child, do not reject the Lord’s discipline,

and don’t get angry when he corrects you.

12 The Lord corrects those he loves,

just as parents correct the child they delight in.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah;

Neither be weary of his reproof:

12 For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth;

Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

11 My son, despise not the instruction of Jehovah, neither be weary of his chastisement; 12 for whom Jehovah loveth he chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

11 Do not reject the discipline of the Lord, my son, 

and do not resent his warning, 

12 because the Lord warns the one he loves, 

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

11 Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son,

and do not loathe His discipline;

12 for the Lord disciplines the one He loves,

just as a father, the son he delights in.

11 My child, do not despise the Lord’s discipline

or be weary of his reproof,

12 for the Lord reproves the one he loves,

as a father the son in whom he delights.

11 Do not despise the discipline of Yahweh, my child.

Do not be weary of his reproof

12 because whomever Yahweh will love, he will rebuke,

as a father delights in his son.

11 My son, do not hate the Lord’s training.

Do not object when he corrects you.

12 The Lord trains those he loves.

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