Proverbs 17:28

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Also the foolish one being silent shall be thought wise: and he shutting his lips, understanding.

See the chapter Copy

Who will give silence? Ye shall be silent, and it shall be to you for wisdom.

And I waited, (for they will not speak, for they stood, they answered no more:)

The tongue of the wise will make knowledge good: and the mouth of the foolish will gush forth folly.

He separating himself will Seek according to desire; he will be irritated with every purpose.

And the foolish one will multiply words: man shall not know what shall be; and what shall be after him, who shall announce to him?

And also as the foolish one went in the way, his heart was wanting, and he said to all, It is folly.

For the dream came in the multitude of labor; and the voice of the foolish one in the multitude of words.
