5 And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children?12:5a Greek sons; also in 12:7, 8. He said,
"My child,12:5b Greek son; also in 12:6, 7. don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and don’t give up when he corrects you.
6 For the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes each one he accepts as his child."12:5-6 Prov 3:11-12 (Greek version).
