Job, have you confessed your sins to God and promised not to sin again?

Have you asked God to show you your faults, and have you agreed to stop doing evil?

Discipline your children while they are young enough to learn. If you don't, you are helping them destroy themselves.

Children just naturally do silly, careless things, but a good spanking will teach them how to behave.

Don't hesitate to discipline children. A good spanking won't kill them.

As a matter of fact, it may save their lives.

Correction and discipline are good for children. If they have their own way, they will make their mothers ashamed of them.

Discipline your children and you can always be proud of them. They will never give you reason to be ashamed.

They strengthened the believers and encouraged them to remain true to the faith. "We must pass through many troubles to enter the Kingdom of God," they taught.

Why, then, do you look with greed at the sacrifices and offerings which I require from my people? Why, Eli, do you honor your sons more than me by letting them fatten themselves on the best parts of all the sacrifices my people offer to me?

When your two sons Hophni and Phinehas both die on the same day, this will show you that everything I have said will come true.

I have already told him that I am going to punish his family forever because his sons have spoken evil things against me. Eli knew they were doing this, but he did not stop them.

(SEE 1:5)

The LORD has firmly established me on the throne of my father David; he has kept his promise and given the kingdom to me and my descendants. I swear by the living LORD that Adonijah will die this very day!"

So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah, who went out and killed Adonijah.

If you don't punish your children, you don't love them. If you do love them, you will correct them.

Correction and discipline are good for children. If they have their own way, they will make their mothers ashamed of them.
