NASB | Proverbs 20:30 Stripes that wound scour away evil, And strokes reach the innermost parts. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 20:30 Blows that wound cleanse away evil, And strokes reach to the innermost parts. |
Bible Question: Could "strokes" or "stripes reach to the innermost parts or the "inward parts of the belly" refer to the "feeling" of guilt? Thus meaning that the rod of correction removes GUILT from a child? |
Bible Answer: Guilt is not merely a subjective feeling. It is an objective fact. Guilt is the "fact of having committed a breach of conduct especially violating law and involving a penalty." ____________________ Estella: Question: 'Could "strokes" or "stripes reach to the innermost parts or the "inward parts of the belly" refer to the "feeling" of guilt? Thus meaning that the rod of correction removes GUILT from a child?' Answer: Welcome to the forum. Thank you for your good question. My understanding of Proverbs 20:30 is that it does not refer to the "feeling" of guilt, but to the actual guilt (which is more than merely a subjective feeling), i.e., the evil itself. Note the use of the word "evil" in the following translations. AMPLIFIED Proverbs 20:30 Blows that wound cleanse away evil, and strokes [for correction] reach to the innermost parts. The Revised Standard Version Proverbs 20:30 Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clean the innermost parts. Proverbs 20:30 New Living Translation (NLT) Physical punishment cleanses away evil; such discipline purifies the heart. Proverbs 20:30 Contemporary English Version (CEV) A severe beating can knock all of the evil out of you! GOD'S WORD Proverbs 20:30 Brutal beatings cleanse away wickedness. Such beatings cleanse the innermost being. Proverbs 20:30 The Message (MSG) A good thrashing purges evil; punishment goes deep within us. Grace and peace to you, Radioman2 |
