IntentsBitField is not a constructor

I'm following this part of the guide: https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#enabling-intents Below is the code that I'm using to create an instance of the Client with the right intents:

// Require the necessary discord.js classes
const { Client, IntentsBitField } = require("discord.js");
const intents = new IntentsBitField();
    
intents.add(
    IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessageReactions,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessageReactions
);

// Create a new client instance with the correct intents. See:
// https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#error-disallowed-intents
const client = new Client({ intents });

// Require the necessary discord.js classes
const { Client, IntentsBitField } = require("discord.js");
const intents = new IntentsBitField();
    
intents.add(
    IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessageReactions,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessageReactions
);

// Create a new client instance with the correct intents. See:
// https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#error-disallowed-intents
const client = new Client({ intents });

When I run the code, I get the following error stack:

{
    "stack": "TypeError: IntentsBitField is not a constructor

    "message": "IntentsBitField is not a constructor"
}

I'm running Discord v13.12. I'm not sure what the problem is.

Sorry, I went ahead and updated to 14 instead; didn't realize there was a version difference.
