Proverbs 23:13

Pro 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Ver. 13. Withhold not correction from the child. ] See Trapp on " Pro 13:24 "

He shall not die. ] Or if he do, yet not by thy default. Thou hast delivered thine own soul howsoever. If a blackmore enter into the bath, though he become not white by it, yet the bath master hath his pay, saith Keyserspergius . The physician hath his fee whether the patient recover or die.
