Pro 10:13-14 Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of the one who lacks sense. (14) The wise store up knowledge, but the mouth of the fool hastens destruction. These statements contrast the wise and the fool. While the discerning person is characterized by his wise statements, one lacking judgment experiences trouble. He may be punished by a rod on the back. A wise person stores up knowledge; he holds it in for the right occasion without spouting off his knowledge. What a fool says, however, causes him trouble and eventually ruin because he foolishly speaks the wrong things and gets himself in trouble.
