Lexicon :: Strong's G3809 - paideia

“Understand today that it is not your children who experienced or saw the discipline of the LORD your God:

His greatness, strong hand, and outstretched arm;

Anyone who does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, let the appropriate judgment be executed against him, whether death, banishment, confiscation of property, or imprisonment.

I have heard a rebuke that insults me,

and my understanding[fn] makes me reply.

He causes this to happen for punishment,

for his land, or for his faithful love.

Pay homage to[fn] the Son or he will be angry

and you will perish in your rebellion,[fn]

for his anger may ignite at any moment.

All who take refuge in him are happy.

You have given me the shield of your salvation;

your right hand upholds me,

and your humility exalts me.

“You hate instruction

and fling my words behind you.

Teach me good judgment and discernment,

for I rely on your commands.

For learning wisdom and discipline;

for understanding insightful sayings;

The fear of the LORD

is the beginning of knowledge;

fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Do not despise the LORD’s instruction, my son,

and do not loathe his discipline;

Listen, sons, to a father’s discipline,

and pay attention so that you may gain understanding,

Hold on to instruction; don’t let go.

Guard it, for it is your life.

and you will say, “How I hated discipline,

and how my heart despised correction.

For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light,

and corrective discipline is the way to life.

“Accept my instruction instead of silver,

and knowledge rather than pure gold.

The one who follows instruction is on the path to life,

but the one who rejects correction goes astray.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,

but one who hates correction is stupid.

Poverty and disgrace come to those

who ignore discipline,

but the one who accepts correction will be honored.

A fool despises his father’s discipline,

but a person who accepts correction is sensible.

Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path;

the one who hates correction will die.

Anyone who ignores discipline despises himself,

but whoever listens to correction acquires good sense.[fn]

The highway of the upright avoids evil;

the one who guards his way protects his life.

Insight is a fountain of life for its possessor,

but the discipline of fools is folly.

A bribe seems like a magic stone to its owner;

wherever he turns, he succeeds.

Listen to counsel and receive instruction

so that you may be wise later in life.[fn]

If you stop listening to correction, my son,

you will stray from the words of knowledge.

Foolishness is bound to the heart of a youth;

a rod of discipline will separate it from him.

Apply yourself to discipline

and listen to words of knowledge.

I saw, and took it to heart;

I looked, and received instruction:

These too are proverbs of Solomon,

which the men of King Hezekiah of Judah copied.

LORD, they went to you in their distress;

they poured out whispered prayers

because your discipline fell on them.[fn]

The Lord GOD has given me

the tongue of those who are instructed

to know how to sustain the weary with a word.

He awakens me each morning;

he awakens my ear to listen like those being instructed.

But he was pierced because of our rebellion,

crushed because of our iniquities;

punishment for our peace was on him,

and we are healed by his wounds.

I have struck down your children in vain;

they would not accept discipline.

Your own sword has devoured your prophets

like a ravaging lion.

LORD, don’t your eyes look for faithfulness?

You have struck them, but they felt no pain.

You finished them off,

but they refused to accept discipline.

They made their faces harder than rock,

and they refused to return.

“When you speak all these things to them, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer you.

“They wouldn’t listen or pay attention but became obstinate, not listening or accepting discipline.

All your lovers have forgotten you;

they no longer look for you,

for I have struck you as an enemy would,

with the discipline of someone cruel,

because of your enormous guilt

and your innumerable sins.

“They have turned their backs to me and not their faces. Though I taught them time and time again,[fn] they do not listen and receive discipline.

“This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Go, say to the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem, ‘Will you not accept discipline by listening to my words? ​— ​this is the LORD’s declaration.

“My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not be present in the council of my people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, and they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.

Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing

without revealing his counsel

to his servants the prophets.

Are you not from eternity, LORD my God?

My Holy One, you[fn] will not die.

LORD, you appointed them to execute judgment;

my Rock, you destined them to punish us.

She has not obeyed;

she has not accepted discipline.

She has not trusted in the LORD;

she has not drawn near to her God.

I said: You will certainly fear me

and accept correction.

Then her dwelling place[fn]

would not be cut off

based on all that I had allocated to her.

However, they became more corrupt

in all their actions.
