Proverbs 3:12

God's loveParents and childrenTrials and adversity

10 then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.

11 My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD, and do not loathe His rebuke;

for the LORD disciplines the one He loves, as does a father the son in whom he delights.

13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding,

14 for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than fine gold.
