Proverbs 20:30

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd,

But reprove one who has understanding and he will gain knowledge.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.

Therefore through this Jacob’s iniquity will be forgiven;
And this will be the full price of the

pardoning of his sin:

When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
When Asherim and incense altars will not stand.

For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.
