v. 3. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride, that is, he bears with himself the rod which will punish his pride, or his pride shows itself in speeches which hurt and injure others; but the lips of the wise shall preserve them, so that no word of folly is spoken by them to the injury of others, 10:13-14.
