- Jer 31:18-19 : 18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. 19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
- Ps 119:176 : 176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
- 2 Sam 11:2-9 : 2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. 3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? 4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. 6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered. 8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. 10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house? 11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow. 13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house. 14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die. 16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were. 17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war; 19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king, 20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall? 21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 22 So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for. 23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate. 24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him. 26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. 27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
- 2 Chr 33:9-9 : 9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel. 10 And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken. 11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, 13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.
- Ps 73:5-9 : 5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued{H8792)} like other men. 6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain{H8804)}; violence covereth{H8799)} them as a garment. 7 Their eyes stand out{H8804)} with fatness: they have more{H8804)} than heart could wish. 8 They are corrupt{H8686)}, and speak{H8762)} wickedly concerning oppression: they speak{H8762)} loftily. 9 They set{H8804)} their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh{H8799)} through the earth. 10 Therefore his people return{H8799)}{H8675)}{H8686)} hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out{H8735)} to them. 11 And they say{H8804)}, How doth God know{H8804)}? and is there knowledge in the most High? 12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase{H8689)} in riches. 13 Verily I have cleansed{H8765)} my heart in vain, and washed{H8799)} my hands in innocency. 14 For all the day long have I been plagued{H8803)}, and chastened every morning. 15 If I say{H8804)}, I will speak{H8762)} thus; behold, I should offend{H8804)} against the generation of thy children. 16 When I thought{H8762)} to know{H8800)} this, it was too painful for me; 17 Until I went{H8799)} into the sanctuary of God; then understood{H8799)} I their end. 18 Surely thou didst set{H8799)} them in slippery places: thou castedst them down{H8689)} into destruction. 19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly{H8804)} consumed{H8804)} with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awaketh{H8687)}; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise{H8799)} their image. 21 Thus my heart was grieved{H8691)}, and I was pricked{H8709)} in my reins. 22 So foolish was I, and ignorant{H8799)}: I was as a beast before thee. 23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden{H8804)} me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide{H8686)} me with thy counsel, and afterward receive{H8799)} me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire{H8804)} beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth{H8804)}: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish{H8799)}: thou hast destroyed{H8689)} all them that go a whoring{H8802)} from thee. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put{H8804)} my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare{H8763)} all thy works.
- Hos 2:6-7 : 6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. 7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
- Heb 12:5-9 : 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
