8 The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
8 The wise of heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
8 A wise heart takes orders; an empty head will come unglued.
8 The wise in heart will receive commands, But a prating fool will fall.
8 The wise are glad to be instructed, but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.
