Mishlei 23:9 - Don't Speak in the Ears of a Ksil (Part 1)

בְּאׇזְנֵי כְסִיל אַל תְּדַבֵּר כִּי יָבוּז לְשֵׂכֶל מִלֶּיךָ.

Synopsis: This morning (11/14/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new pasuk which feels like "classic Mishlei" - and therein lay the challenge! After reviewing two definitions of ksil (Rabbeinu Yonah's and mine) we developed an approach to the pasuk. We then read Saadia Gaon's commentary, which took a very different track. Tomorrow we'll try to refine that idea, and then see what the other meforshim have to say.
