Instruction, Guarded Speech, and Diligence
A teachable son listens, while the scoffer refuses rebuke. Speech can preserve life or invite ruin, desire without diligence stays empty, and righteousness functions as a guard along the upright path.
Proverbs ties teachability and guarded speech to life; James tells believers to be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath.
