Proverbios 10:13

Pro 10:13 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.

Ver. 13. In the lips of him, &c. ] "Grace is poured into his lips," Psa 45:2 and he pours it out as fast for the good of others, who do therefore admire him, as they did our Saviour. Luk 4:22

But a rod is for the back. ] That, since he will not hear the word, he may "hear the rod," Mic 6:9 and smart for his uncounsellableness. He that trembleth not in hearing, shall be broken to pieces in feeling, saith Bradford.
