Proverbs 23:13-14: Ànd What it means to all people,

 Proverbs 23: 13-14: And What it means to All People!! By Anthony Joseph Hopkins November 4, 2021

 

 Are we supposed to use a rod to punish a child?  A rod is a metal object that is used in construction.  A rod is a thin straight bar especially that is made up of wood or metal.  When it comes to disciplining a child, a belt is used.  According to WHIO TV Channel 7 in Dayton, Ohio.  On Thursday October 28. 2021, a father of a ten-year-old child was sentenced to 51 years in prison for killing his son.  

 

The mother and friend of the family received prison sentences for participating in the crime.  Recently, another child was beaten 200 times with a belt in Springfield, Ohio.  A Biblical example comes from Proverbs 23:13. This Bible verse says Do not withhold correction from a child for if you beat him with a rod he will not die.  I guess the two examples of the incidents in the State of Ohio proves that the parents took things too far.  


Next, when it comes to these Bible verses, the parents did not exercise better judgment.  Another example of violence took place in Hamilton, Ohio.  A parent of a 6-year-old boy killed her son by dragging him with her car.  She attempted to give the child to the authorities prior to killing him, and throwing his body inside of the Ohio River.  Proverbs 23:14 says You shall beat him or her with a rod because you are delivering his or her soul from hell.  Is this a true statement?  Some parents are taking his too far.  

Proverbs 20:11 says Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right.  This Bible verse is true.  I say this because a child learns how to sin from watching their parents.  When it comes to Proverbs 23:13-14, parents will have to exercise self-control.  In 2021 standards, some parents consider their children as their best friend.

Job 15 Commentary and Transparency Statement

Job 15:12 says: Why does your heart carry you away?  What do your eyes wink at,  This means that your stress is getting the best of you.  The reason why stress is getting the best of me is because I have allowed it to happen to me.  I know that I am only a human being.  I am a Work in Progress!  What do my eyes wink at?  I really do not know that I was winking at anyone.  Remember that only a deceptive person tend to wink a lot.  I will admit that I have allowed stress to get the best of me.  I have been under pressure as of late.  I have been dealing with Organized Criminals Worldwide during the past 14 years now.  These people are responsible for messing up my Cellphones and all of my personal email accounts.
