8 A wise heart accepts commands,(A)but foolish lips will be destroyed.
8 The wise are glad to be instructed, but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.
23 As shameful conduct is pleasure for a fool,(A)so wisdom is for a man of understanding.
23 Doing wrong is fun for a fool, but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible.
