Proverbs 22:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Is bound; is fixed and settled there, as being born with him, and rooted in his very nature, and not plucked up without great difficulty and diligence. The rod of correction shall drive it far from him; the smart of punishment makes him weary of his sin, and watchful against it.

Proverbs 22:15

15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
