Proverbs 17:27

American Standard Version 2015

He that spareth his words hath knowledge;\par\tab And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

See the chapter Copy

And {\i the} fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.\par

Ye know {\i this}, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

He that is slow to anger is of great understanding;\par\tab But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;\par\tab But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer;\par\tab But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;\par\tab And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.
