Proverbs 20:30 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. — Proverbs 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.
