Proverbs 20:30--"The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly."
As the lips of a wound when brought together produce healing, and the dead flesh and herms ae purhed, so stripes cleanse the inward moral evil and bice from the heart of a child (V 30). When children are thus chastened and corrected thier conscience and life are purdged or further disobedience.
