This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A rod of pride: their proud and insolent speeches, as they are like a rod, offensive and injurious to others, so they make a rod for their own hacks, by provoking God and man against them; which sense seems most probable, both from the opposite clause, and by comparing this place with Pro_10:13 26:3. For this phrase,
the rod of pride, it may be compared with other like phrases, as the foot of pride, Psa_36:11, the scourge of the tongue, Job_5:21, and the rod of the mouth, Isa_11:4.
Shall preserve them, from that rod.
