Proverbs 3:12

English Standard Version

12 for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights. (De 8:5; 1Co 11:32)

New International Version

12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.[1]

New International Reader’s Version

12 The LORD trains those he loves. He is like a father who trains the son he is pleased with.

King James Version

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