“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. of understanding: Heb. of heart”
Proverbs 10:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 10:13
In the lips of him that has understanding wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him void of understanding. Understanding produces wise speech; lack of understanding requires corporal discipline. The rod isn't arbitrary punishment but pedagogy for those who won't learn through instruction. This reflects ancient pedagogy using physical discipline. The principle: wisdom is better acquired through understanding than through painful consequences.
