He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.

O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
