Julia Micah could be the reference you are looking for - but Proverbs shows the rod is not the scroll of teachings - it is exactly what you think it is and is meant to be applied to the backside!
'Micah 6:9 - The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. Prov 10:13 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.'
