The wise, &c., will receive commandments Is ready to hear and obey the precepts of God and men. But a prating fool One who is slow to hear, and swift to speak, who, instead of receiving good admonitions, cavils and disputes against them; Hebrew, אויל שׂפתים, a fool of lips, one who discovers the folly of his heart by his lips, and thereby exposes himself to the mischief here following; shall fall Into mischief, or be punished.
