Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
What does Proverbs 22:15 mean?
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.
