“The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. a prating: Heb. a fool of lips fall: Heb. be beaten”
Proverbs 10:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 10:8
The wise in heart will receive commandments, but a prating fool shall fall. The wise eagerly receive authoritative instruction, while the talkative fool who loves hearing himself speak will come to ruin. The contrast between receiving and prating emphasizes listening versus speaking. Those who talk more than listen miss instruction and fall into error. Wise humility receives correction; foolish pride dispenses opinions.
