Proverbs 3:11-13
American Standard Version
11 My son, despise not the [a]chastening of Jehovah;
Neither be weary of his reproof:
12 For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth,
Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
And the man that [b]getteth understanding.
