MacKnight says: "This scripture, by showing God's Providence to be just and righteous, dispels the gloom which the misery and suffering which are part of life, may bring on us. We are here being trained and developed, by God who is our teacher.

May every suffering child of God understand this and believe it!" Chastises. "As a father spanks his children, because he loves them!" See Proverbs 3:11-13.
