Hebrews 12:10

For it was indeed the case that they [our fathers here on earth] disciplined us for a short time (literally: a few short days) as they saw fit (according to what seemed good to them).
[Human upbringing is based on incomplete judgments and temporary temperament. Sometimes unfair, sometimes too harsh, other times too lax.]
He [God], on the other hand [as our heavenly Father who knows everyone's hearts, see Matt. 6:9; 1 Kings 8:39; 1 Sam. 16:7], does it for our best [in a combined way that benefits us in all areas], so that we may share in his holiness.
