Strong's G3809 παιδεία (paideia)

And ye shall know this day; for I speak not to your children, who know not and have not seen the discipline of the Lord thy God, and his wonderful works, and his strong hand, and his high arm,

Thou shalt by all means let the mother go, but thou shalt take the young to thyself; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long.

And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the second Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no child.

And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

I will hear my shameful reproach; And the spirit of my understanding answers me.

This has been appointed by him on the earth, Whether for correction, or for his land, Or if he shall find him an object for mercy.

Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, And ye should perish from the righteous way: Whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, Blessed are all they that trust in him.

And thou hast made me secure in my salvation: And thy right hand has helped me, And thy correction has upheld me to the end; Yea, thy correction itself shall instruct me.

Whereas thou hast hated instruction, And hast cast my words behind thee.

Teach me kindness, and instruction, and knowledge: For I have believed thy commandments.

To know wisdom and instruction, And to perceive words of understanding;

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; And there is good understanding to all that practice it: And piety toward God is the beginning of discernment; But the ungodly will set at nought wisdom and instruction.

Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And reject not the rules of thy mother.

My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; Nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding.

Take hold of my instruction; let it not go— But keep it for thyself for thy life.

And thou shalt say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart avoided reproofs!

A way of life; reproof also and correction:

Receive instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than tried gold.

But instruction unchastened goes astray.

He that loves instruction loves sense, But he that hates reproofs is a fool.

But he that attends to reproofs shall be honored.

A fool scorns his father’s instruction: But he that keeps his commandments is more prudent. In abounding righteousness is great strength: But the ungodly shall utterly perish from the earth.

The instruction of the simple is known by them that pass by; But they that hate reproofs die disgracefully.

But he that minds reproofs loves his soul.

And the highest honor will correspond therewith.

The paths of life turn aside from evil; And the ways of righteousness are length of life. He that receives instruction shall be in prosperity; And he that regards reproofs shall be made wise. He that keeps his ways, preserves his own soul; And he that loves his life will spare his mouth.

Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessors; But the instruction of fools is evil.

And whithersoever it may turn, it shall prosper.

Hear, son, the instruction of thy father, That thou mayest be wise at thy latter end.

A son who ceases to attend to the instruction of a father Will cherish evil designs.

But the rod and instruction are then far from him.

Apply thy heart to instruction, And prepare thine ears for words of discretion.

I looked that I might receive instruction.

Behold I and the children which God has given me: and they shall be for signs and wonders in the house of Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion.

Lord, in affliction I remembered thee; thy chastening was to us with small affliction.

The Lord even God gives me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: he has appointed for me early, he has given me an ear to hear:

and the instruction of the Lord, even the Lord, opens mine ears, and I do not disobey, nor dispute.

But he was wounded on account of our sins, and was bruised because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his bruises we were healed.

Who has heard such a thing? and who has seen after this manner? Has the earth travailed in one day? or has even a nation been born at once, that Zion has travailed, and brought forth her children?

For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I turn toward them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles: their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.

In vain have I smitten your children; ye have not received correction: a sword has devoured your prophets as a destroying lion; yet ye feared not.

O Lord, thine eyes are upon faithfulness: thou hast scourged them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them; but they would not receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return.

Therefore thou shalt speak this word to them;

But they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but stiffened their neck more than their fathers did, so as not to hear me, and not to receive correction.

All thy friends have forgotten thee; they shall not ask about thee at all, for I have smitten thee with the stroke of an enemy, even severe correction: thy sins have abounded above all thine iniquity.

And they turned the back to me, and not the face: whereas I taught them early in the morning, but they hearkened no more to receive instruction.

Thus saith the Lord, Go, and say to the men of Judah, and to them that dwell in Jerusalem, Will ye not receive correction to hearken to my words?

And I will stretch forth my hand against the prophets that see false visions, and those that utter vanities: they shall not partake of the instruction of my people, neither shall they be written in the roll of the house of Israel, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

For the Lord God will do nothing, without revealing instruction to his servants the prophets.

Art not thou from the beginning, O Lord God, my Holy One? and surely we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast established it for judgment, and he has formed me to chasten with his correction.

The dove hearkened not to the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord, and she drew not near to her God.

I said, But do ye fear me, and receive instruction, and ye shall not be cut off from the face of the land for all the vengeance I have brought upon her: prepare thou, rise early: all their produce is spoiled.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

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:

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

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.

Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation.

And though the living Lord be angry with us a little while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one again with his servants.

And this is contained in the education of the law; by means of which we learn divine things reverently, and human things profitably.

We, O accursed tyrant, suffer this for the sake of Divine education and virtue.

and increase the more powerfully by reason of this simultaneous rearing, and by daily intercourse, and by other education, and exercise in the law of God.

For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, And remove from thoughts that are without understanding, And will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.

Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, And he is clean contrary to our doings: He upbraideth us with our offending the law, And objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education.

For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, And their hope is vain, their labors unfruitful, And their works unprofitable:

For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; And the care of discipline is love;

For she is a treasure unto men that never faileth: Which they that use become the friends of God, Being commended for the gifts that come from learning.

And faith and meekness are his delight.

For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, And bring fear and dread upon him, And torment him with her discipline, Until she may trust his soul, And try him by her laws.

For by speech wisdom shall be known: And learning by the word of the tongue.

My son, gather instruction from thy youth up: So shalt thou find wisdom till thine old age.

Despise not the discourse of the wise, But acquaint thyself with their proverbs: For of them thou shalt learn instruction, And how to serve great men with ease.

Be not jealous over the wife of thy bosom, And teach her not an evil lesson against thyself.

I will show forth doctrine in weight, And declare his knowledge exactly.

He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, And that diligently seek after his judgments.

Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, And like manacles on the right hand.

Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold, And like a bracelet upon his right arm.

A tale out of season is as music in mourning: But stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time.

Who will set scourges over my thoughts, And the discipline of wisdom over my heart? That they spare me not for mine ignorances, And it pass not by my sins:

Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth: He that keepeth it shall never be taken in his lips.

He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, And as Gihon in the time of vintage.

I will yet make doctrine to shine as the morning, And will send forth her light afar off.

He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes: He giveth health, life, and blessing.

He will not despise the supplication of the fatherless; Nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint.

As thou wast sanctified in us before them: So be thou magnified among them before us.

But they will maintain the state of the world, And all their desire is in the work of their craft. But he that giveth his mind to the law of the most High, And is occupied in the meditation thereof,

He shall show forth that which he hath learned, And shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord.

My children, keep discipline in peace: For wisdom that is hidden, and a treasure that is not seen, What profit is in them both?

And of merchants’ indifferent selling; Of much correction of children; And to make the side of an evil servant to bleed.

Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, And the extreme aged that contendeth with those that are young: Thus shalt thou be truly learned, And approved of all men living.

Leaders of the people by their counsels, And by their knowledge of learning meet for the people, Wise and eloquent in their instruction:

Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem Hath written in this book the instruction Of understanding and knowledge, Who out of his heart poured forth wisdom.

I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her, And got much learning.

Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, And dwell in the house of learning.

Put your neck under the yoke, And let your soul receive instruction: She is hard at hand to find.

Get learning with a great sum of money, And get much gold by her.

They knew not his statutes, nor walked in the ways of his commandments, nor trod in the paths of discipline in his righteousness.
