The Love in God's Rebuke (Mishlei 3:12)

Why does there seem to be a lot of repetition in the haftarot of consolation? Are there synonyms in Tanach or does each word mean something different (e.g. גילה, רינה, דיצה, חדוה)? If, as some mefarshim say, different words can mean the same thing, why is there repetition? What does it accomplish?
