Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

20:30 {k} The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so [do] stripes the inward parts of the belly.
(k) Sharp punishment that pierces even the inward parts is profitable for the wicked to bring them to amendment.

WES:

20:30 The blueness - Grievous wounds, which make men black and blue; or severe punishments. Cleanseth - Are the means to reclaim a wicked man, and to purge out his corruption. The belly - Of the heart. Grievous wounds or stripes cleanse not only the outward man by keeping it from evil actions, but even the inward man, by expelling or subduing vile affections: which is a great and blessed benefit of afflictions.

MHC:

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.
