Let your hitbonenut (meditation) be on the one who endured such opposition from chote'im (sinners), that you may not be weary in your neshamot, losing heart. For you have not yet resisted to the point of death al kiddush ha-Shem in your struggle against Chet; And you have let slip from zikaron (remembrance) the dvar haChizzuk which he speaks to you as banim, My son, do not despise the musar of HASHEM, do not lose heart, resent when rebuked by Him; KI ES ASHER YE'EHAV HASHEM YOKHI'ACH (for whom HASHEM loves he disciplines), and he punishes ES BEN YIRTZEH (every son he receives). For you endure nisyonos for the sake of musar. And HASHEM is dealing with you as banim. For what ben is there whom an Abba does not give musar? But if you are without musar, in which all the yeladim share, then you are not banim but mamzerim. Furthermore, we had Avot on HaAretz, who were morim that we reverenced and treated with kavod. Should we not even more subject ourselves to the Avi HaRuchot and live? For they disciplined us for a short time, as seemed tov to them, but HASHEM disciplines us for tov lanu in order that we might share in his kedushah. All musar for the moment seems not to be na'im (pleasant), but seems to bring agmat nefesh; yet afterwards to those who have been taught by musar, it yields the p'ri haShalom and the p'ri haTzedek.
