For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off.

Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord all the day long.

Withhold not discipline from the child; for if you strike and punish him with the [reedlike] rod, he will not die.
