He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
He that hath knowledge spareth his words: And a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding has a cool spirit. [James 1:19.]
He that spareth his words hath knowledge; And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
Wise are those who restrain their talking; people with understanding are coolheaded.
Whoever moderates his words is learned and prudent. And a man of learning has a precious spirit.
He that setteth bounds to his words is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit.
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
