Proverbs 17:27
Berean Standard Bible
A man of knowledge restrains his words, and a man of understanding maintains a calm spirit.
Context
25A foolish son brings grief to his father
and bitterness to her who bore him. 26It is surely not good to punish the innocent
or to flog a noble for his honesty. 27A man of knowledge restrains his words,
and a man of understanding maintains a calm spirit. 28Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps silent,
and discerning when he holds his tongue.
