He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.

It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
