Proverbs 10:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Wisdom is found; his wisdom showeth itself in his prudent speeches, by which he escapeth that rod which tools meet with, and gaineth that reputation and advantage to himself which fools lose. A rod is for the back of him, he may expect rebukes and punishments from God and men, that is void of understanding; which he showeth by his foolish words.

Proverbs 10:13

13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.d
