⁸ The wise in heart accept commandments, But a chattering fool will fall.

²⁴ "Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

²⁵ The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock.

¹ Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid.

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

⁶ A fool's lips come into strife, And his mouth invites beatings.

⁷ A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are a snare to his soul.

²³ In all hard work there is profit, But the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

⁸ The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way, But the folly of fools is deceit.

³ He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

¹³ An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

¹⁰ One winking with the eye causes sorrow, But a chattering fool will fall.

⁹ Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

⁵ That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; That the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:

³⁴ Give me understanding, and I will keep your law. Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart.

¹² The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.
