Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 12:5

_ _ forgotten — “utterly,” so the Greek. Compare Hebrews 12:15-17, in which he implies how utterly some of them had forgotten God’s word. His exhortation ought to have more effect on you than the cheers and exhortations of the spectators have on the competitors striving in the games.

_ _ whichGreek, “the which,” of which the following is a specimen [Alford].

_ _ speaketh unto you — as in a dialogue or discourse, so the Greek, implying God’s loving condescension (compare Isaiah 1:18).

_ _ despise not — literally, “Do not hold of little account.” Betraying a contumacious spirit of unbelief (Hebrews 3:12), as “faint” implies a broken-down, weak, and desponding spirit. “Chastening” is to be borne with “subjection” (Hebrews 12:9); “rebuke” (more severe than chastening) is to be borne with endurance (Hebrews 12:7). “Some in adversity kick against God’s will, others despond; neither is to be done by the Christian, who is peculiarly the child of God. To him such adverse things occur only by the decree of God, and that designed in kindness, namely, to remove the defilements adhering to the believer, and to exercise his patience” [Grotius].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 12:5

And yet ye seem already to have forgotten the exhortation — Wherein God speaketh to you with the utmost tenderness. Despise not thou the chastening of the Lord — Do not slight or make little of it; do not impute any affliction to chance or second causes but see and revere the hand of God in it. Neither faint when thou art rebuked of him — But endure it patiently and fruitfully. Proverbs 3:11, &c.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hebrews 12:5

(5) And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

(5) Secondly, because they are testimonies of his fatherly good will towards us, in that they show themselves to be illegitimate, if they cannot abide to be chastened by God.
