New International Version (NIV)

13Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,

but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.

13On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found,

But a rod is for the back of him who has no sense.

13On the lips of the discerning, [skillful and godly] wisdom is found,

But discipline and the rod are for the back of the one who is without common sense and understanding.

13Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,

but a rod is for the back of him who lacks judgment.

13In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found;

But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

13In the lippes of him that hath vnderstanding wisdome is founde, and a rod shalbe for the backe of him that is destitute of wisedome.

13Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment,

but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.

13Wisdom is found on the lips of those who understand what is right.

But those who have no sense are punished.

13People who understand what is right speak wise words.

But silly people receive the punishment that they deserve.

13Wisdom is found in the lips of the intelligent, || And a rod [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding.
