Proverbs 17:28

King James 3 - The Literal Traslation

Even a foolish one being silent is counted a wise one, he shutting his lips as discerning.

See the chapter Copy

Oh that you would stop speaking entirely, and it would be your wisdom!

Shall I wait because they do not speak, because they stand, not answering again?

The tongue of the wise makes glad knowledge, but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.

He who separates himself seeks to gain his own desire; he breaks out against all sound wisdom.

Yet the fool makes many words; a man knows not what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?

And also, in the way in which a fool walks, his heart is lacking, and he says to all that he is a fool.

For the dream comes through the greatness of the task; and the voice of the fool is known by the greatness of his words.
