Proverbs 3:12

12 because the LORD warns the one he loves, even as a father warns a son with whom he is pleased.

Proverbs 3:12 In-Context

10 Then your barns will be full, and your vats will overflow with fresh wine.
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.
13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom and the one who obtains understanding.
14 The profit [gained] from [wisdom] is greater than the profit [gained] from silver. Its yield is better than fine gold.
