8 (A)The wise of heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
8 The (A)wise of heart will receive commands,But [a]a babbling fool will come to ruin.
17 Whoever heeds instruction is on (A)the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.
17 One who (A)is on the path of life follows instruction,But one who ignores a rebuke goes astray.
