Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared Jehovah. And the creditor is coming to take my two children to be his slaves.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Jehovah delivers him out of them all.

For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and whips every son whom He receives.

For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.
