He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive. (NKJV)
Proverbs 17:27,28
Let us read the same portion in a different translation to help us understand it's meaning better:
A truly wise person uses few words;
a person with understanding is even-tempered.
Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. (NLT)
a person with understanding is even-tempered.
Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. (NLT)
Oh yes, we get it! Shall we apply it? Here's one more along those lines to help us with it:
When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise. Proverbs 10:19
