He who restrains his words has knowledge,
And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise;
When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent.
–Proverbs 17:27-28 (NASB Strong’s)
Prov. 17:27 自分のことばを控える者は知識に富む者。
心の冷静な人は英知のある者。
Prov. 17:28 愚か者でも、
黙っていれば、 知恵のある者と思われ、
そのくちびるを閉じていれば、
悟りのある者と思われる。
