13 Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.
13 On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks sense.
13 You'll find wisdom on the lips of a person of insight, but the shortsighted needs a slap in the face.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding.
13 Wise words come from the lips of people with understanding, but those lacking sense will be beaten with a rod.

Those that foolishly go on in wicked ways, prepare rods for themselves.
