8 The (A)wise of heart will receive commands,But [a]a babbling fool will be [b]ruined.
10 He (A)who winks the eye causes trouble,And [a](B)a babbling fool will be [b]ruined.
3 The one who (A)guards his mouth preserves his life;The one who (B)opens wide his lips [a]comes to ruin.
7 A (A)fool’s mouth is his ruin,And his lips are the snare of his soul.
