[151] The quotation in Hebrews is taken from the Greek (LXX) text of Proverbs: the Hebrew text of Proverbs now reads “Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth,” but the original text probably had “and paineth” instead of the words “Even as a father”—the difference in Hebrew is very slight (cp. p. 192).
