Deuteronomy 8:3-6 And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know… I had a teacher, when I was a boy, who used to love me and let me off easy in my lessons, and I thought he was splendid. I had another teacher who, out of school and out of doors, was almost like a brother and a father to me, but who was very rigid with me in the mathematical room — and with me especially; and when I once complained to him that he did not treat any other boy as he did me, he said, "No, I do not, for I do not love any other boy as much as I do you." He brought the screw down on me tremendously, but it was the only thing that carried me through mathematics. At last he developed in me an energy and an enterprise in that direction that led to results that I never should have achieved under any other culture than that. "Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth...But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons," saith the Word of the Lord. (H. W. Beecher.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. |
