Gill's Notes on the Bible

In the mouth of the foolish [is] a rod of pride,.... A proud tongue, or a tongue speaking proud and haughty things; with which foolish or wicked men smite others and wound and hurt their reputation and credit, and in the issue hurt themselves also; their tongue is not only a rod to others, but a scourge to themselves, or is the cause of evil coming upon them; such was the tongue of Pharaoh, as Jarchi on the place observes, Exodus 5:2; and of those the psalmist speaks of,

Psalms 73:9; and particularly of antichrist, whose mouth is opened in blasphemies against God, and his tabernacle, and his saints,

Revelation 13:5;

but the lips of the wise shall preserve them; from speaking such proud and haughty things against God and men; or from being hurt by the tongues of men or their own; yea, what coaxes out of their mouth is confounding and destructive to their enemies, Revelation 11:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A rod of pride - i. e., The pride shown in his speech is as a rod with which he strikes down others and himself.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 14:3. The mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride — The reproofs of such a person are ill-judged and ill-timed, and generally are conveyed in such language as renders them not only ineffectual, but displeasing, and even irritating.
