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.
23 Doing wrong is (A)like a joke to a fool, but (B)wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.
23 As shameful conduct is pleasure for a fool,(A)so wisdom is for a person of understanding.
