I've written 2 posts about this very issue at the blog in my signature. I'm working on a 3rd post, but due to some happenings in my life and now being sick, it's taken me a lot longer than I thought it would
I do encourage you to check out the first two. I have a ton of links and dissect each Proverbs "rod" verse, going back to the Hebrew words and what their possible meanings are.
There are a lot of really good posts not written by me on that blog too!
Here's the link to my first Proverbs post and there's a link to the next post there as well. There will be a link to the third eventually too!
