Proverbs 10:8

The wise of heart will receive commands,
But a babbling fool will be ruined.

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

Give me understanding, that I may observe Your law
And keep it with all my heart.

A wise man will hear and increase in learning,
And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser,
Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.

He who winks the eye causes trouble,
And a babbling fool will be ruined.

An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,
But the righteous will escape from trouble.

The one who guards his mouth preserves his life;
The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

The wisdom of the sensible is to understand his way,
But the foolishness of fools is deceit.

In all labor there is profit,
But mere talk leads only to poverty.

A fool’s lips bring strife,
And his mouth calls for blows.

Words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him;

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
