8 (A)The wise of heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
8 The wise person[a] accepts commands, but the chattering fool will be brought down.
23 Doing wrong is (A)like a joke to a fool, but (B)wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.
23 Just as the fool considers wickedness his joy, so is wisdom to the discerning man.
