Imagine you have a friend who always listens carefully to what the teacher says and follows the rules. That friend is like the wise person in this verse. But another friend might talk a lot and not pay attention to what the teacher says, and that friend often gets into trouble. That's like the foolish talker in the verse. Being wise means listening and following the rules.
