The scorpion represents discipline from scripture - “but I will discipline you with scorpions.” What does the scripture
say about discipline in both the Old Testament and New Testament?

Deuteronomy 8:5 “Thus you are to know in your heart that the LORD your God was disciplining you just
116
as a man disciplines his son.”

117
Revelation 3:19 “Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.”
God says that He will discipline those whom He loves. This is a time for repentance. God will seal and protect
those who believe in Him and from being disciplined with the sting of the scorpions. In Ephesians, the Apostle
Paul also warns us not to be deceived.

Ephesians 5:6 “Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God
118
comes upon the sons of disobedience.”

But, You have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord, my God.” 119
