Proverbs 17:27
A man of knowledge restrains his words, and a man of understanding maintains a calm spirit.
He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Note an…: or, a cool
He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
He that spareth his words hath knowledge; And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
