Proverbs 10:8

A wise heart accepts commands,
but foolish lips will be destroyed.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but one who hates correction is stupid.

Help me understand Your instruction,
and I will obey it
and follow it with all my heart.

a wise man will listen and increase his learning,
and a discerning man will obtain guidance—

Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.

A sly wink of the eye causes grief,
and foolish lips will be destroyed.

An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech,
but a righteous one escapes from trouble.

The one who guards his mouth protects his life;
the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

The sensible man’s wisdom is to consider his way,
but the stupidity of fools deceives them.

There is profit in all hard work,
but endless talk leads only to poverty.

A fool’s lips lead to strife,
and his mouth provokes a beating.

The words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious,
but the lips of a fool consume him.

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on the rock.

Who is wise and has understanding among you? He should show his works by good conduct with wisdom’s gentleness.
