King James Version with Apocrypha
"He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit."
— Proverbs 17:27, King James Version with Apocrypha
“He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.”
“He that spareth his words hath knowledge; And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding. ”
“He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.”
“The truly wise person restrains his words, and the one who stays calm is discerning.”
“He that setteth bounds to his words, is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit.”
“He who has knowledge says little: and he who has a calm spirit is a man of good sense.”
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
