Thematic Bible: Who holds their tongue
Thematic Bible
Speech/communication » Who holds their tongue
He who despises his neighbor lacks sense,
But a man of understanding keeps silent.
He who has knowledge restrains and is careful with his words,
And a man of understanding and wisdom has a cool spirit (self-control, an even temper).
A [shortsighted] fool always loses his temper and displays his anger,
But a wise man [uses self-control and] holds it back.
Wise men store up and treasure knowledge [in mind and heart],
But with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand.
