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.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 10 of Proverbs. These proverbs focus attention on speech. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, while violence may hide behind the words of the wicked. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers many offenses. Wisdom is also shown in knowing when to speak and when to remain silent: multiplying words without knowledge increases the risk of sin, while the lips of the discerning nourish others.

In den Lippen des Verständigen findet man Weisheit; aber auf den Rücken der Narren gehört eine Rute.
En los labios del prudente se halla sabiduría: Y vara a las espaldas del falto de cordura.
Sur les lèvres de l'homme intelligent se trouve la sagesse, Mais la verge est pour le dos de celui qui est dépourvu de sens.
La sapienza si trova nelle labbra dell’intendente; Ma il bastone è per lo dosso di chi è scemo di senno
Nos lábios do entendido se acha a sabedoria, mas a vara é para as costas do falto de entendimento.
聰明人嘴裏有智慧; 無知的人背上受刑杖。
