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.

²⁹ Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

⁴⁷ And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

⁴⁸ But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
