Humble of Heart
The wise of heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin. Proverbs 10:8
Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray. Proverbs 10:17
When facing constructive criticism we can listen and follow the recommendations of the one giving us wisdom or like a person who lacks sense we can become defensive, rationalize our actions, and argue our point, wanting to prove ourselves right rather than to be right. Our mouth puts our heart on display, as do our actions.
Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding. Proverbs 10:23
שׂחק שׂחוק
laughter (in merriment or defiance): - derision, laughter (-ed to scorn, -ing), mocked, sport.
The wise are exhilarated by acting wisely. The one who lacks sense enjoys scheming and seeing how much they can get away with.
