Gill's Notes on the Bible
The wise in heart will receive commandments,.... Such who have true wisdom in the hidden part of the heart, of which the fear of the Lord is the beginning: these will not only, as good subjects, honour their king, and attend to his lawful commands; and, as dutiful children, regard those of their parents; and, as faithful servants, hearken to those of their masters; but, as such that fear the Lord, will receive and cheerfully obey the commandments of God and Christ;
but a prating fool shall fall; like Diotrephes, that prated against the Apostle John and other saints. Or, "a fool of lips" b; whose folly is proclaimed and made known by his lips; who, out of the abundance of it in his heart, speaks and pours it out by his lips: such an one falls into sin and into mischief; he falls into disgrace in this world, and into hell in the next. The Targum is,
"the fool by his lips shall be taken;''
as in a snare.
b אויל שפתים "stultus labiis", Montanus, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A prating ... fall - Better, as in the margin. Inward self-contained wisdom is contrasted with self-exposed folly.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 10:8. A prating fool shall fall. — This clause is repeated in the tenth verse. The wise man will receive the commandment: but the shallow blabbing fool shall be cast down. See Proverbs 10:10.
