8 (A)The wise of heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
8 A wise heart accepts commands,(A)but foolish lips will be destroyed.
17 Whoever heeds instruction is on (A)the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.
17 The one who follows instruction is on the path to life,but the one who rejects correction goes astray.(A)
