Proverbs - 20:30 Meaning

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

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

20:30 Severe rebukes sometimes do a great deal of good. But such is the corruption of nature, that men are loth to be rebuked for their sins. If God uses severe afflictions, to purify our hearts and fit us for his service, we have cause to be very thankful.

“And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.”
