⁷The good person who lives an honest life
is a blessing to his children.

Proverbs 20:7

New International Version

⁷The righteous lead blameless lives;^(A)
blessed are their children after them.^(B)

¹¹Even a child is known by his behavior.
His actions show if he is innocent and good.

¹¹Even small children are known by their actions,
so is their conduct really pure^(A) and upright?

³⁰Hard punishment will get rid of evil.
Whippings can change the evil person’s heart.

³⁰Blows and wounds scrub^(A) away evil,
and beatings^(B) purge the inmost being.
