Blueness of wound

Blueness of wound

The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly (Proverbs 20:30).

When a punishment is given to a criminal, his wound becomes blue. The punishment has to be exemplary so that other criminals may not indulge in such criminal acts. The blueness of this wound cleanses the society of evil. The stripes of punishment are not only felt by him on the outside but also touch his inner soul. A convict undergoing a sentence in a jail gets convicted in his heart for his sins.
