Proverbs 17:28

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; When he shutteth his lips, he is `esteemed as' prudent.

Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!

Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps silent, and discerning when he holds his tongue.
