Berean Standard Bible
Proverbs 17:28
“Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps silent, and discerning when he holds his tongue.”
In context
26It is surely not good to punish the innocent or to flog a noble for his honesty.
27A man of knowledge restrains his words, and a man of understanding maintains a calm spirit.
28Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps silent, and discerning when he holds his tongue.
