"The truly wise person restrains his words, and the one who stays calm is discerning."
— Proverbs 17:27, NET Bible
“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.”
“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.”
“He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.”
Wisdom is directly in front of the discerning person, but the eyes of a fool run to the ends of the earth.
A foolish child is a grief to his father, and bitterness to the mother who bore him.
It is terrible to punish a righteous person, and to flog honorable men is wrong.
The truly wise person restrains his words, and the one who stays calm is discerning.
Even a fool who remains silent is considered wise, and the one who holds his tongue is deemed discerning.
