Proverbs 17:27 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. — Proverbs 17:27
Source Coverage: Proverbs 17:27-28
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.
