Prov 20:30 · Douay-Rheims
“The blueness of a wound shall wipe away evils: and stripes in the more inward parts of the belly.”
On this verse:
“blueness--literally, "joining," the process of uniting the edges of a wound throws off purulent matter. stripes . . . belly--So punishment provides healing of soul (Pro 18:8), by deterring from evil courses. Next: Proverbs Chapter 21”
