Matthew Henry · Verse 15
Sin is foolishness, it is in the heart, there is an inward inclination to sin: children bring it into the world with them; and it cleaves close to the soul. We all need to be corrected by our heavenly Father.
Proverbs 22:15
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
