He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
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.
He that spareth his words hath knowledge; And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
He who has knowledge says little: and he who has a calm spirit is a man of good sense.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 27–28
A man may show himself to be a wise man, by the good temper of his mind, and by the good government of his tongue. He is careful when he does speak, to speak to the purpose. God knows his heart, and the folly that is bound there; therefore he cannot be deceived in his judgment as men may be.
