2  And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the ^achastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

  3  And thus we see that except the Lord doth ^achasten his people with many afflictions, yea, except he doth visit them with death and with terror, and with famine and with all manner of pestilence, they will not remember him.

  21  Verily I say unto you, that I, the Lord, will ^achasten them and will do whatsoever I list, if they do not repent and observe all things whatsoever I have said unto them.
