8 The wise of heart will receive commandments,

but a babbling fool will come to ruin.

8 The wise in heart will receive commandments:

But a prating fool shall fall.

8 The wise are glad to be instructed,

but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.

8 The wise in heart will receive commands,

But a prating fool will fall.

8 The wise do what they are told,

but a talkative fool will be ruined.

8 The wise in heart will receive commandments;

But a prating fool shall fall.

8 The wise in heart receiveth commandments; but a prating fool shall fall.

8 The one who is truly wise accepts commands, 

but the one who talks foolishly will be thrown down headfirst. 

8 A wise heart accepts commands,

but foolish lips will be destroyed.

8 The wise of heart will heed commandments,

but a babbling fool will come to ruin.

8 A heart of wisdom will heed commandments,

but a babbling fool will come to ruin.

8 A wise heart accepts commands.

But foolish chattering destroys you.

8 The wise of heart will receive commands,

But a babbling fool will be ruined.
