"He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding."
— Proverbs 17:27, World English 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. ”
“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.”
“He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.”
Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.
A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.
Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
