Proverbs 3:12 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For whom the Lord loveth, &c.— The LXX read, For whom the Lord loveth he reproveth, and chasteneth every son whom he receiveth. From whence it is evident, that they read the Hebrew differently; and their construction is more natural, and agrees with Hebrews 12:6. Houbigant follows the LXX.

12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
