Reaping the peaceful reward

Proverbs 22:3 (TEV) Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later.

Hebrews 12:10-11 (TEV) 10  Our human fathers punished us for a short time, as it seemed right to them; but God does it for our own good, so that we may share his holiness. 11  When we are punished, it seems to us at the time something to make us sad, not glad. Later, however, those who have been disciplined by such punishment reap the peaceful reward of a righteous life.
