8 The (A)wise of heart will receive commandments,But an ignorant fool of loose lips will be [a]ruined.
8 The wise are glad to be instructed, but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.
23 Doing wickedness is like (A)laughing to a fool,And so is wisdom to a man of discernment.
23 Doing wrong is fun for a fool, but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible.
