He who has deserved a hanging by Thomas Brooks

"The Lord disciplines the one He loves, and
 punishes every son whom He receives."
     Hebrews 12:6

"Why should any living man complain--when
 punished for his sins?" Lamentations 3:39
 

He who has deserved a hanging--has no
reason to charge the judge with cruelty--if
he escapes with a whipping!
 

And we who have deserved a damning--have
no reason to charge God for being too severe
--if we escape with a fatherly lashing!
 

"God disciplines us for our good---that we
 may share in His holiness." Hebrews 12:10
